learn how to play

Pilfer is a real-time, competitive, word-building game for 2+ players.

how to start

First, one player must host a new game. This generates a room code, which the other players use to join the game. Wait until all players have joined, then press the Start button.

how to take words

A randomly shuffled set of FREE letters is revealed automatically over time.

method 1: take a free word

Enter a word using some or all of the FREE letters (before an opponent takes them).

method 2: steal from an opponent

You can steal a word from another player if you (a) rearrange its letters to form a new word and/or (b) add one or more FREE letters.

how the game ends

When the last of the FREE letters are revealed, an endgame timer starts. You can keep taking words until time runs out, at which point whoever has the most letters in their word list wins.
