Spell carefully. Don't get ghosted.

Ghost (a.k.a. Superghost) is a multiplayer word game: players take turns adding letters without completing a valid word too early. Lose a round, gain a letter of G-H-O-S-T.

G H O S T

Click the tiles — five losses and you are a ghost.

How a round goes

The idea comes from a classroom game: one letter is added each turn, and the goal is to avoid completing a full word yourself. In this version players can prepend or append, which keeps rounds fast and a bit unpredictable.

You:PLAN— hmm, "plan" is a word… but wait:
Friend:APLAN— heading toward "airplane", clever.
You:APLANE— oops. That spells trouble (and a word).

Matches are multiplayer and built for short sessions with friends.

Project details

Ghost is open source — the backend is written in Swift using Vapor. The project started as a small side game and is currently not actively maintained, but everything still works and the code is public.
