Squabble takes the hit classic Wordle and turns it into a time-based competition. As with Wordle, you will attempt to guess the right five-letter word with only a limited number of guesses. The game will tell you if a letter is correct and in the right place. Try to figure out the word before your friends do.

To make the game competitive, you have a health bar that is depleting slowly. If you guess correctly, you will heal yourself and damage your opponents. Guess incorrectly, and you’ll take even more damage. The game can be pretty tense as you frantically try to figure out each word. If you lose all of your health, you are eliminated from the round until just one player remains. This game is perfect for a competitive group of friends determined to guess the words the fastest.

The Really Boring Website is more exciting than its name suggests. This is another time-based word game, with a few voting elements lobbed in. Each round, you will be given a series of categories and must write a word or phrase relevant to the prompt. Sound simple enough? Well, there is a catch. Each answer must begin with the same letter. You also only have a set amount of time to answer all of the prompts, which adds exciting pressure to the game. It creates this fantastic sense of urgency.

Once everyone has answered as many as they can, you all get to vote on if you believe each answer was suitable or not. This includes if it was the correct starting letter and if it actually fitted the category. Another wrinkle to the game is that if anyone writes down the same word or phrase, both of them will not get any points. This encourages you to come up with unique answers that no one else would put. The best part of the game is discussing the answers afterward, seeing what your friends came up with when against the clock.

Decrypto is a wonderfully clever team-based online party game. Two teams have their own set of four secret words. Each round, one team member will be given a unique three numbered code linked to their four words. They need their team to figure out the number sequence without their rivals managing to decrypt the code themselves. To do this, they can use different code words or phrases, trying to be clear enough for their team to understand but also so vague that their opponents will be left clueless.

The browser version of this party game keeps everything clear and concise, making it an easy game to teach. It invokes plenty of discussion and mind-games and is an excellent choice for big and small parties. With each match of Decrypto being relatively short, your friends will want to try this one again and again.
