How to play

WordGrid on CastPlayTV puts the classic word game on a shared TV board while each player keeps a private tile rack on their phone. Host on the Main screen to display the 15×15 board, scores, and live placements. Two to four players join via QR or room code, draw tiles, and take turns forming words connected to the board. Premium squares, bingo bonuses, and dictionary validation keep play fair and familiar. Because racks stay on phones, nobody can peek at another player’s letters while the whole room still sees every word land on the big screen. No download or paid account is required — open the browser, create a WordGrid room, and start. For online play, choose Player with own screen so the shared board and your private rack appear together on your phone, tablet, or computer. It is ideal for family nights, classrooms, and friends who want a thoughtful multiplayer game without setting up a physical set. Turns sync in real time so remote players can join with a code as easily as people on the couch. When the bag runs low and boards fill up, final scores decide the winner just like the tabletop classic.

What you need

For living-room play: one Main screen device for the shared board and 2–4 phones for private racks. For online play: each player can use Player with own screen on a phone, tablet, or computer. A modern browser and network connection; no app store download.
