When you create a room, you can customize nearly every aspect of the game. Here’s a breakdown of all available settings.

​

​
Letter Modes Explained

Every round uses the same number of letters. Good for consistency — set it to 3 for quick rounds or 7 for a challenge.
Each round picks a random letter count within your min/max range. Keeps things unpredictable.
Starts at the minimum and adds a letter each round. The game gets progressively harder — great for building tension.
Letters like Q, X, and Z are rare — the game limits these to at most 1 per acronym and never duplicates letters.
