THE SHORT VERSION
What is Don't Waste Words?
A word duel where each player builds from the last word: every reused letter earns points, while every new letter costs them. Play solo or local 1v1 on one keyboard, mouse or touchscreen; a round takes only a few minutes. The game is still in development and was submitted to a game jam.
A compact word challenge with a rule that rewards careful letter choices.
Why it made the list: Its letter economy creates real choices in a round that lasts only a few minutes, and the local two-player mode makes it more social than a standard daily word puzzle.
