Expected Nov 10, 2026 · Free · In‑App Purchases

Pre-order now and Choice Words is yours free at launch: unlimited concurrent games and every color. Have Words arrives November 10. Have Words is a two-player word game of trap and dodge. Play a friend across the world, pass a phone across the table, or take on a bot. Take turns adding letters to a growing word fragment. Finish a word, you lose the round. Every move must keep the fragment on a path to a real word, and a dubious opponent can challenge you to name one. It's a race toward a word you must never finish. Outmaneuver your opponent letter by letter until the only move they have left completes the word. Rounds play for a tally that grows with every letter. Push it higher when you like your position, bail out when it turns on you. Losers pay, winners collect, and the match ends when one of you runs dry. Ways to play: Friends over Game Center, whenever you each get a moment Pass and play on one device Named bots with their own styles, fun to lose to The entire game is free, now and forever: every rule, every mode, every bot. Choice Words is a one time purchase that lets you run several matches at once and opens all nine color schemes instead of one. No ads, no subscriptions, nothing else to sell you. Go have words with somebody.
