# Pairdle
> King-of-the-grid 1v1 Wordle duels
**Category:** Word · **Players:** 1v1 duels (queue) · **Status:** Beta
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
Type `!join` (or `!queue`) to get in line. The first two in line seat as
Champion and Challenger; everyone else waits their turn.
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.
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.
## Configuration
| Option | Values | Default |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------- |
| **Match length** | 15–300s | 180s |
| **Priority gift** | a gift that bumps your queue slot | Off until set |
**Match length.** The per-duel time cap; on expiry the match resolves on most
greens, then fewer rows used.
**Priority gift.** An optional queue-jump gift (see [Gifts](#gifts)).
## Layout
1. **Marquee** — game title and how-to hint.
2. **Champion vs Challenger** — the two seated players.
3. **Streak** — the Champion's current king-of-the-hill run.
4. **Grids** — the two 6×5 boards, one per duelist.
5. **Queue** — who's lined up to challenge next.
The game moves through **Lobby → Match → Match done → Finished**.
## 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](/games/leaderboards).
