Pairdle is in beta — details may change.
A king-of-the-hill Wordle. Two chatters take the chair — Champion and Challenger — and race the same secret on their own 6×5 grid. First to solve wins, stays on as Champion, and faces the next challenger from the queue. Type !queue to line up.

​
Gameplay

1

Queue up

Type !join (or !queue) to get in line. The first two in line seat as Champion and Challenger; everyone else waits their turn.
2

Race the grid

Both seated players’ chat messages are their guesses on their own board. Only the two seated players’ guesses count. First to solve wins the match.
3

Hold the throne

The winner stays on as Champion; the loser goes to the back of the queue and the next challenger steps up. A win streak builds as the Champion holds.
Pairdle is a seat game: because there’s an actual chair to claim, it needs a !join (or !queue) — unlike the open-roster games where playing is joining.

​
How feedback works

Each guess is scored letter by letter, standard Wordle colours — the same board for both duelists.

  • Same secret, two grids. Champion and Challenger race the identical word side by side; first to an all-green solve wins.
  • Six rows each. Run out of rows without solving and you forfeit that board; if both miss, it’s decided on most greens, then fewer rows used.
  • Don’t stall. Going idle for two rows in a row forfeits the seat, so an AFK player can’t block the queue. Matches also have a time cap.

​
Gifts

Pairdle’s gift is a queue jump — it moves the sender up the line, but never helps them win a match. It’s off unless the host sets it.
  • Sending the configured gift bumps your queue slot up by one (and auto-joins you to the line if you weren’t already in it).
  • It only affects your place in line — the duel itself is still won on the grid.

​
Scoring

  • Each match won adds one to your win count; a streak tracks consecutive holds of the throne.
  • The session winner is whoever won the most matches. Every match win counts toward the per-streamer tally behind avatar ring tiers.
