A Text-Twist-style anagram race for chat. Each round shows a rack of 7 letters; chat types as many words (3–7 letters) as they can spell from them. The first person to type a given word claims its points, and the highest total across the rounds wins.

​
Gameplay

1

Read the rack

Seven letters appear. Find words 3–7 letters long using only those letters (each letter as many times as it appears in the rack).
2

Type words

Just type any word you spot — no command. The first to type a given word claims its points; nobody else can score the same word.
3

Twist for a fresh angle

The host can twist the rack — shuffle the same letters — to help chat spot new anagrams. Same letters, same valid words.

​
How scoring works

Longer words are worth more, and every word is a race — only the first person to type it scores.
A 7-letter rack with example words of increasing length and point values
  • Longer words score more — a 3-letter word is 1 point, rising to 4 for a 6-letter word (about one point per letter beyond the minimum).
  • One claim per word. The first to type a word claims it; duplicates and latecomers don’t score it again.
  • Clear the rack for a 2× bonus. If chat collectively finds every valid word in a round, everyone’s points for that round double.

​
Gifts

TwistTok’s gift is a free word — it claims a word off the board for the gifter, scored exactly like a chat find.
  • Sending a configured gift unlocks a random unfound word of that gift’s mapped length — Doughnut → 3-letter, Hand Heart → 4, Money Gun → 5, Galaxy → 6.
  • The unlocked word scores the gifter and comes off the board, so bigger gifts claim longer, higher-scoring words.
  • Capped at a few claims per round, so a gifter can’t farm the rack or deny chat.

​
Scoring

  • Every word scores by length (3–6 letters → 1–4 points); clearing the whole rack doubles the round for everyone who contributed.
  • The highest total across the rounds wins; ties are shipped as co-winners.
  • Points feed the per-streamer win tally behind avatar ring tiers. Wins are tracked per streamer.
