Gameplay

Squabble combines Wordle, a word game created by Josh Wardle and acquired by The New York Times, and battle royale mechanics. There are two modes in Squabble: Blitz and Squabble Royale. Blitz, where 2 to 5 players compete, and Squabble Royale, with 6 to 99 players. Each player has a health bar decreasing every second.

Players must consecutively solve Wordle puzzles by guessing a five-letter word within six tries. When they guess letters correctly, an opponent gets damaged, and the player's health is restored. Incorrect guesses can subtract the player's HP. If a player loses all of their HP, they are eliminated.
