🌐 What is WordSpy?
- WordSpy is a free, browser-based online multiplayer word game inspired by the hit board game Codenames. No downloads, no sign-ups -just share a room link and start playing instantly.

⚡ How is WordSpy different from Codenames?

- Unlike the physical board game, WordSpy handles the board setup, card shuffling, scorekeeping, and turn management automatically.
- Unique features include: themed word packs (Movies, Food, Tech, etc.), 3 board sizes, 37 language support, configurable turn timers, sound effects, dark/light mode, and a spymaster view toggle.
- Play remotely with anyone in the world -just share your room URL via WhatsApp, Messenger, or any messaging app.
🧠 Advanced Strategy Guide
- As Spymaster, prioritize clues that connect 2-3 cards while avoiding neutral words, the opposing team's words, and especially the assassin.
- Count-zero clues (e.g., "OCEAN 0") are legal and tell your team that NO cards relate to that word -useful for steering them away from the assassin.
- As an Operative, discuss guesses with your team before clicking. The extra +1 guess per turn is powerful -use it to revisit clues from earlier rounds.
- Watch the other team's clues carefully. If they say "ANIMAL 2", cards like DOG or CAT are probably theirs -avoid them.
- On smaller boards (4×4), games are faster and riskier -the assassin is proportionally more dangerous. On 6×6, multi-word clues become essential.
