One ring of letters, a board of crossing words, and a chat that spells them out.
Word Swipe puts a small crossword on your stream where every answer is spelled from one shared ring of letters. Four to six words cross each other on the board, the wheel below holds the six to eight letters they all come from, and anyone watching can type a word the moment they spot it. There is no turn order and nothing to learn first: the letters are on screen, and the words are made of those letters.
The wheel is the clue
Because every word uses the same letters, each one your chat solves narrows what the others can be. A viewer who cannot see any word yet can still read the ring and try something, and a wrong guess costs nothing but a quiet blip. Guesses match with or without accents, so a word typed flat on a phone still counts.
The board keeps a record of who solved it
Every solved word fills in your accent colour and pins the solver profile picture to its end, so a finished board shows who was watching. One word carries a star and pays double, and it is never the obvious one: the star goes to the longest word that is not simply the wheel itself.
Nothing ends on a clock
A board finishes when the chat has solved every word, not when a timer runs out, so a quiet stretch never cuts a board short and a slow room is never punished. When the last word lands the board celebrates, then builds itself a fresh one a few seconds later.
Your chat is the controller.
Viewers take part with the gifts and comments they already send in your TikTok Live. Here is how a round of Word Swipe plays out.
- Type a word from the wheelEvery word on the board is spellable from the letters in the ring below it. A viewer types one in chat and it fills in, with their picture pinned beside it.
- Each solve is a clue to the restThe words share one letter set and cross each other on the board, so every answer that lands cuts down what the remaining ones can be.
- The board decides when it endsThere is no round timer. The board stays up until its last word is solved, then a new one generates a few seconds later.
- Four buttons around the wheelShuffle the ring, solve a word, uncover a single letter, or fire a rocket down a whole grid line. Each one is drawn on screen only when you have actually bound it.
Every trigger is yours to rewire.
Bind any action to a gift, comment, like, or follow, and set a minimum gift amount so only real support counts. Chain several triggers to one action, or point the same gift at something different. These are the actions Word Swipe exposes, ready to bind however you run your show.

Common questions about Word Swipe.
How do viewers play Word Swipe?
They type in chat. Every word on the board is spelled from the ring of letters below it, so a viewer reads the ring, works out a word and types it. There is no turn order and no queue, and anyone who arrives mid-board can still take the last word.
What happens on a wrong guess?
The word they typed appears briefly and fades, with a quiet blip. There are no strikes and no penalty, because the board is cooperative. You can set a short per-viewer cooldown if you want to slow down rapid guessing, but it ships with none.
Do gifts decide who wins?
No. Gifts buy help for the whole room: a letter, a word, a line of letters, or a reshuffled wheel. Every one of them is credited to the sender, but the board is solved together and the points go to whoever types each word.
Do the actions have to be gifts?
No. All four ship bound to a one-coin gift each so viewers can discover them, but any of them can be moved onto likes, follows, shares, joins or a chat keyword instead. The buttons on screen redraw to show whatever you actually set.
Is there a time limit?
No. A board ends only when every word on it has been solved, so a quiet chat is never cut off mid-board. Once the last word lands the board celebrates and a fresh one generates a few seconds later.
Do the boards ever repeat?
Boards are generated at the moment each one starts, from your own word bank, rather than drawn from a fixed set of puzzles. Four to six crossing words are laid out on a grid up to nine by ten, in well under a millisecond.
Do accents count?
A guess matches once accents are folded, so a word typed without diacritics on a phone still matches the accented spelling. Matching is otherwise exact: every word on the board comes from the same small letter set, so a typo tolerance would start matching other valid answers.
