Do I need an account

No. Tap Quick match — a nickname is assigned automatically and you can play straight away.

Then why register

A guest’s points are stored in this browser. Clearing browser data or switching phones loses them. An account keeps your points, your rank and your place on the leaderboard.

Will I lose my progress when I register

No. The points and streak you built up as a guest move across to the new account — there is nothing to play again. What moves is the progress of the device you register from.

Playing with a friend

Open Play with friend → Create room with code and send your friend the code. They enter it on the same screen and join you.

Logging in

You can log in with either your nickname or your email.

Forgotten password

Tap “Forgot password?” on the login form and a reset link will be emailed to you.

Installing the game

Android: tap Install when the banner appears, or choose Install the app in your profile.

iPhone: in Safari tap Share ⬆️ and choose Add to Home Screen.

My opponent vanished mid-game

They have 30 seconds to come back, and the clock stops for all of it — waiting costs you none of your own time. If they do not return, the win is yours.

Across a whole game those pauses add up to one minute. An ordinary dropped connection never comes close: coming back takes a couple of seconds. Someone leaving and returning over and over to drag a game out runs through the minute quickly — and their next disconnect is simply a loss.

Playing with four

Play online → Create room → the 4 players mode. The game starts once all four seats are taken; the room list shows how many are filled already. If there are not enough people about, the remaining seats are taken by the game’s own players.

Deleting my account

Profile → Delete account. You will be asked to confirm twice: a deleted account cannot be brought back. Exactly what is removed, and what stays, is set out in the Privacy Policy.

Still stuck
