The word game that fights back. Every word you spell lands tiles on your rival's rack — first to overflow loses. Five modes, 8-player Survival, 20 jokers, animated themes, and a Tile Movie Maker with 26 letter actors. Yes, you can play bad words. They just score half.
Yes, you can play bad words. They just score half.
Bad Word is the word game that fights back: every word you spell lands on your rival's rack — one tile pushed for every four letters you play. Spell fast, think sharp: big words hit harder, and the first rack to overflow loses.
One price, everything. $2.99 — every mode, every theme, every joker. No ads, no in-app purchases, no pay-to-win. Just word skill.
Five Ways to PlaySolo — Race the tiles across 16, 32, and unique-word modes.
Zen — No timer, no rival. Just you and the tiles.
Duel — Real-time 1v1 against Normal or Hard AI, or a friend via invite link.
Survival — A free-for-all loop for 3 to 8 players. Last rack standing wins.
Quick Match — One click, one opponent.
Tile Movie MakerType a scene — "Q loses U, then finds it" — and 26 letter-tile actors with real faces act it out: hops, tears, steam, speech bubbles, slide whistles, sad trombones. Export a GIF and send it to someone. Occasion cards included: Birthday, Congrats, Good Luck, Miss You.
FeaturesTile push — a real-time pressure loop no other word game has
Weekend 2x / holiday 3x score events, automatic
20 collectible jokers across 20 XP ranks, 5 equip slots
10 themes, 8 of them fully animated shaders — Cyberpunk, Garden, Water, Starfield, Fireworks, Prism, Fractal, Nightfall
50 Steam achievements, Steam leaderboards with friends filter
Keyboard-first play — type letters to pull tiles, Enter to validate
Gamepad support — D-pad or stick plus A/B/X/Y drive every menu and every mode; room codes and Movie Maker prompts use the Steam on-screen keyboard
Plays on Steam Deck with the built-in controls
Bad Words Count — At Half ScoreEvery dictionary word is fair game. The spicy ones just score 50% instead of being rejected, lol.
