race through chains of meaning to the target word. same word, same second — real opponents, always on. no ads. no power-ups. no signup. just drop in.
a target word appears. you pick toward it — closest meaning, biggest leap. your word jumps. four new options. keep going.
first to reach it wins the round. but everyone else is racing too. same target. same second. right now.
that's tir — a live semantic word race.
how it works
- a target word appears
- pick toward it — closest meaning is the biggest leap
- your word jumps to your pick; four new options appear
- first to reach wins the round
always on
- one global room. same word, same second. real opponents.
- not a daily puzzle. drop in any time — the race is always running.
- you win on what words mean, not on spelling or letters.
- solo at off-peak? solo wins still earn Elo.
your rank
- pure pairwise Elo. the same math chess uses.
- five placement rounds before your number shows.
- 8 tiers: stone through grandmaster.
- lose to someone far above you — barely costs. beat someone far below — barely gains. honest math.
private rooms
- 4-character code. four difficulties: chill, normal, hard, expert.
- no Elo at stake. practice freely, race friends fairly.
no power-ups. no in-app purchases. no ads. no signup.
quiet. fair. fast.
a sharper engine and a new face.
- a better word map. more paths to the target, more interesting decisions.
- four difficulties: chill, normal, hard, expert. the global room is normal.
- pure pairwise Elo. the same math chess uses. five placement rounds, then a number and a tier.
- 8-tier league ladder: stone → grandmaster.
- off-peak solo wins still tick rating — diminishing returns after the first, so you can't farm it.
- next round pre-loaded. new target lands under 500ms after results.
- three-stage onboarding: pick a name → 3-card tutorial → play.
- new icon: off-center NE.
- new screenshots
