How to Start a Multiplayer Wordle Game with Friends on Wordle VS

Updated

To start a multiplayer Wordle game on Wordle VS, open wordlevs.com, choose Play as Guest or sign in with a free account, create a room, and share the invite link in any chat. Friends who open the link land directly in your lobby from a browser — no app or sign-up required. The host then sets the number of rounds and the per-word clock, and everyone races to solve the same five-letter word.

Step by step: from link to first guess

Wordle VS describes the setup as taking "under a minute" from link to first guess. Here is the sequence:

  1. Enter the site and pick a play mode. Tap Play as Guest for a one-click start, or create a free account if you want your wins and games played saved. Guest play works, but stats and the weekly leaderboard are tied to an account.
  2. Create a room. This makes you the host, which means you control the settings in the next step.
  3. Share the room link. Send it through any chat app. The link opens straight into the lobby, including on phones, so friends don't need to download anything or register.
  4. Set the rules before the game starts. In the room settings, the host chooses:
    • Rounds: 1 to 10
    • Clock per word: 30 seconds to 5 minutes
    • Mode: Free-for-all or Co-op (see below)
  5. Start guessing. Everyone receives the same five-letter word at the same time. Green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot, and grey means the letter isn't in the word at all.

A practical tip: decide the round count and clock before you send the link, since settings are chosen in the room before the game begins. A 30-second clock suits fast 1v1 races; longer clocks and more rounds work better for casual groups.

Choose the mode that fits your group

Wordle VS offers two ways to play, and the right choice depends on whether you want a race or a shared puzzle.

Free-for-all Co-op
Players 2 to 4 2 to 4
Board Each player has their own board and six guesses One shared board; players take turns guessing
How you win First to solve the word wins the round; most round wins takes the game The team solves the word together within six guesses
Live visibility You watch rivals' rows fill in as they guess You talk it through in chat and build one solution
Best for 1v1 Wordle duels or a 4-player showdown Families and mixed skill levels, since everyone wins or loses together

If your friends aren't online, Quick Match pairs you with a 1v1 opponent, and practice mode lets you warm up alone.

What to check before you invite people

  • Player cap: rooms support up to 4 players, so split larger groups into separate rooms.
  • Device: the game runs on phone, tablet, or computer in a browser, so the invite link works across devices without coordination.
  • Accounts: guests can play immediately, but only signed-in players keep stats and compete on the weekly top 20, which resets every Monday.
  • Host role: only the host sets rounds, clock, and mode, so agree on the format in chat before the room is configured.

Common snags

  • Friends can't find the room: send the room link itself rather than the site address — the link is what drops them into your specific lobby.
  • Game feels rushed or slow: adjust the per-word clock in room settings; the range runs from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
  • Stats missing after playing: guest sessions don't save progress, so create a free account before your first serious match if the leaderboard matters to you.
