How to play Ghost Race

Race a recorded opponent through the same five-letter word. The ghost's pace runs down a rail beside your board — you never see their letters, only how far along they are — and the finish line is a sector-timing sheet that reveals both boards.

  1. Guess the five-letter word; each guess is marked like a crossword check — green in place, gold in the word.
  2. The ghost's marker runs the rail beside you at the pace its run was recorded. Beat it to the word.
  3. Every guess after your first adds five seconds to your adjusted time, so fewer, smarter guesses win close races.
  4. Finishing mints a link that carries your whole run. Send it — whoever opens it races your ghost on the same word.

Adjusted time is what decides it: your clock plus five seconds per extra guess, capped at five minutes. Win the daily circuit, race pace ghosts for practice, and settle rivalries head-to-head — the link is the whole multiplayer.
