WordSalvo's latest update is live on Android.
First, the tournament fixes you flagged: sign-ups and withdrawals now update instantly — no more hard-refreshing to see who's in — and final standings are fully browsable again.
Also new: share your board with a snapshot of any game (mid-match or final result), a fresh Miami board theme, redesigned achievements with a trophy shelf, and refreshed word lists and definitions across every language.
Update on Google Play and jump back in:
iPhone players — your turn is next, rolling out the moment Apple approves it.
Last season, tournament games started the moment one player pressed play. No check that the other player was actually there. If your opponent made their first move while you were offline, your clock was already running. Miss enough turns and the game forfeited — not because you weren't playing, but because you didn't know it had started.
There was another problem too. A lot of players signed up out of curiosity but never intended to play. Their opponents started the game, waited, and eventually timed out. You did everything right and still lost the match.
This season we tried to fix both. Better sign-up messaging, and a Ready system: both players confirm they want to play before the board opens and the clock starts. If your opponent signed up but has no intention of playing, you know before you waste turns waiting.
That system is live, but it didn't ship cleanly.
Right now, unconfirmed tournament games are showing up in your main lobby mixed in with your active games. They shouldn't be there. Players pressing the Ready button are seeing "Log in to continue" — even though they're fully logged in. That's a bug in the current version, nothing to do with your account. And it's still possible to tap through to the game board before your opponent has confirmed, which defeats the purpose.
A fix goes out later today via app update. Here's how it works once you've updated.
Open Tournament → Games. Your scheduled fixtures appear under "Not started." Both players see an I'm Ready button. Tap it and your button changes to Waiting. Your opponent then sees Start game — when they tap that, the match begins and you both get a notification. Until both players have confirmed, the board stays locked.
Unconfirmed games will no longer appear in your main lobby.
If your opponent never responds If you pressed I'm Ready but your opponent never taps Start game before the season ends, the fixture is forfeited in your favor. You get 3 points. They receive a no-show on their record. If neither player confirmed, the fixture doesn't count for either side.
Hold off on starting new tournament games until the update is live. We'll post here when it's available.
Let me know what other features you would like to see in a future release
I’ve been building WordSalvo, a competitive word game inspired by classic tile-based word games, but with a bigger focus on learning from each match.
The main thing I wanted was post-game analysis. After a game, you can review key turns, see stronger moves you missed, compare your actual play against better available options, and get a breakdown of where points were left on the board.
Current features include:
- Online multiplayer
- Daily puzzles
- Post-game move analysis
- Turn replay
- Ratings and leagues
- Friend/rival system
- Support for multiple languages
I’m trying to make it useful for people who enjoy word games but also want to actually improve, not just play and move on.
Would love feedback from word game players: what kind of post-game analysis would you actually find helpful? Best missed word? Rack management? Defensive mistakes?
Opening/ending strategy?
Wordsalvo is available on ios and android if you want to give it a go
Two weeks ago, WordSalvo went live in English and Dutch. Since then, the first community has started to take shape:

A huge thank you to everyone who has played, tested, shared feedback, challenged friends, and helped shape the game in these first two weeks.
The next update is a big one: WordSalvo is now expanding to more languages. We’re preparing to go live in:
