The word game that fights back. Every word you spell lands tiles on your rival's rack — first to overflow loses. Five modes, 8-player Survival, 20 jokers, animated themes, and a Tile Movie Maker with 26 letter actors. Yes, you can play bad words. They just score half.

Bad Word is the word game that fights back: every word you spell lands on your rival's rack — one tile pushed for every four letters you play. Spell fast, think sharp: big words hit harder, and the first rack to overflow loses.
One price, everything. $2.99 — every mode, every theme, every joker. No ads, no in-app purchases, no pay-to-win. Just word skill.
Solo — Race the tiles across 16, 32, and unique-word modes.
Zen — No timer, no rival. Just you and the tiles.
Duel — Real-time 1v1 against Normal or Hard AI, or a friend via invite link.
Survival — A free-for-all loop for 3 to 8 players. Last rack standing wins.
Quick Match — One click, one opponent.
Type a scene — "Q loses U, then finds it" — and 26 letter-tile actors with real faces act it out: hops, tears, steam, speech bubbles, slide whistles, sad trombones. Export a GIF and send it to someone. Occasion cards included: Birthday, Congrats, Good Luck, Miss You.
