What is Word Duel?
Word Duel is a word guessing game. You try to figure out the secret word in as few guesses as possible.
How do you play Word Duel?
Select a difficulty level from the Lobby. The secret word will be automatically selected. The number of dots below the guess shows how many letters are in the secret word. Type a guess with the same number of letters and press enter. The scratch area can be used to write down letters you have figured out. Your guess will be displayed below the scratch area along with the number of letters that are correct and in the correct position. The letters that you used will be grayed out from the alphabet on the left. This will help you quickly see which letters you have not yet tried. Mousing over a letter will show where that letter has been used. Clicking New Game will select a new secret word.
How do you play Word Duel with another player?
You must win 10 single player games before you can play with another player. Select Multiplayer in the difficulty you wish to play or click on a player's name to join their game. Both players take turns trying to guess the same secret word. You will not see your opponent's guesses but you will see their number of correct letters. You must enter your guess before time runs out.
Notes
You can play single player while waiting for someone to join your multiplayer game. If someone selects your name in the lobby your single player game with be automatically paused. The multiplayer game will start immediately. You can resume your paused game from the Lobby.
You can have more than 1 paused game at a time. They will count as a loss in your Stats until you complete them.
When someone joins your multiplayer game your name is removed from the list. After the game is over you must add yourself to the list or select another opponent if you wish to play again.
The beginner list contains only beginner words. Intermediate will occasionally use a beginner word. Advanced will occasionally use a beginner or intermediate word.

Word Duel
Word Duel is a solitaire game I wrote for my mother at her request. I originally wrote it for the Apple //c.
In 1997 I ported Word Duel to Visual Basic 4 for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.
