Wordy - A Game for Word Nerds

We are excited to announce our first private chat game on Wireclub! In Wordy you take turns selecting letters to create words - the longer the word the higher your score! To Start a new game with someone you are chatting with just select Wordy on the new Games menu. You can play a versus game where you compete to get the highest score or a co-op game where you work together to make a single high score. Both game types have leaderboards and a daily race to get the most points. If none of your friends are available, or they are scared of your word making abilities, can also join the Wordy chat room and find random people to play with. Play Wordy!

Connect letters to spell words. Make longer words for a higher score! Connect letters in different directions!

Because You Asked!

Hello everyone!

I would like to take some time today to publicly answer some questions that I frequently come across on my inbox.

Q: Are Wireclub's games "fair"?
A: Our games are completely random and that is what makes them fair and fun - given the same conditions everyone has the same chance of winning.

Q: But why do some members appear to win more often?
A: Every time you play, you have the same odds of winning as everyone else. When you write down how many times members win in a single day and compare with the number of games they played on that day, you will notice that the members that are on the top of the leaderboard played significantly more games than everyone else.

Q: I feel like I don't win as often when this other member is also playing!
A: The winnings of each player are completely independent from all other players in the system. In fact, the part of the code that decides the outcomes doesn't even know who the outcome is for - our dealer is both blind and deaf.

Q: Someone told me they know a trick to win!
A: They are not telling you the truth because there are no tricks to win. We would never allow such tricks to exist because that would be unfair and hurt our community.

Q: Can't you make the games “more fair” by not letting the same member win twice?
A: That would actually be quite unfair if you stop to think about it. We believe each player is entitled to the same odds of winning as everyone else on every play. It wouldn't be fair to let someone play at reduced odds just because they won recently. Doing so would also require us to "rigg" our games which is something we will never do – our games will always be random and therefore fair no matter what.

Q: Do the odds of winning ever change?
A: No, our games are not "managed" - this means that the odds never change over time or across members. We will not make the odds better one day and then worst on the next one. Also, if you start winning we will not reduce your odds to keep you from winning more, and we will not improve your odds just because you buy more credits than someone else. There is no preferential treatment for anyone, and that is something we would never do because no individual user is more important than our community as a whole

If you have any more questions, let us know

Bigger, Faster, Stronger.

We have just finished moving all Wireclub servers to a much better datacenter which is great because you can now expect your favorite site to be faster and much more reliable.

I would like to thank everyone for being so patient and supportive during the past few weeks while we were working hard to make this transition possible.

We had to make this move because our community is growing fast with thousands of new members joining everyday and our previous connection to the internet was no longer big enough to accommodate all user activity.

To put it in perspective, if Wireclub was a city it would be bigger than Los Angeles in terms of population. All thanks to your continued support

Blackjack ♠

We are really excited to open the doors to the new Blackjack room!

Blackjack is really simple and fun - just try and get cards that add up to 21. Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth ten and Aces are worth 1 or 11 depending on what is in your best interest. There are only two actions - Hit to get another card or Stand to keep the hand you have and face off against the dealer. The highest hand that doesn't go over 21 wins!

There are also badges and other surprises for gaining levels by playing the game, we look forward to seeing you there!

Rumor is that these drinks have a great effect on a hangover!
