Context Duel

Five recruits. Two factions. Every word takes a side.

All games

0 of 5 recruits

How to play

Recruit five different words by selecting a word, then pressing Recruit. Your faction scores +2 for its own words. A shared word gives +1 to each faction; a rival word gives the rival +2. A rival role or creature is a trap and gives the rival +3.

You win if your faction reaches at least 8 points and finishes ahead of its rival. The rival receives only the points from your picks; there is no simulated opponent. You cannot take a recruit back.

Allegiances are authored for each everyday scenario, not measured language facts. Explanations appear after each pick. Reveal ends the round without an earned result. A finished daily stays fixed; practice can be replayed. Daily changes at 00:00 UTC. This authored collection repeats 8 daily puzzles and has 4 separate practice puzzles. The saved-progress notice shows whether this browser or the server is keeping your progress.
