See who's sharpest in your group. Share your daily word-game result, and once everyone's played, the leaderboard, answers, and trash-talk all unlock.
Gloaty turns your daily word game into a friendly competition with the people you actually know.
Finished today's puzzle? Share your screenshot to Gloaty and it reads your grid automatically. Your group's results stay hidden until everyone has played (or the daily cutoff hits) — no spoilers, no peeking. The moment the group is in, it all unlocks at once: the leaderboard, each person's grid, the answer and its definition, and a group chat to celebrate or commiserate.
• No spoilers — results lock until everyone's in
• Automatic reading — just share your screenshot, no typing scores
• Group leaderboard — wins, streaks, averages, recent form
• History & stats over time
• Chat & emoji reactions
• Private by design — small friend groups, no ads
HOW IT WORKS
1. Play your daily word game as usual.
2. Screenshot your finished board and share it to Gloaty.
3. Wait for your group — once everyone's in, the day unlocks.
4. See the leaderboard, the answer, and jump into the chat.
