What is Wordmap?
Wordmap is an independent collection of free browser games for word reasoning, spelling, vocabulary, multiplayer competition, and city geography. Each activity connects its result to a visible rule, explanation, tool, or worked method.
Is Wordmap free?
Yes. The games and tools in this version do not require payment or registration.
What does checked challenge data mean?
It means the stored entries were tested against the rule that uses them, such as word length, allowed characters, duplicate handling, board paths, clue answers, or city fields. It does not mean the set contains every English word or every city.
Are the Wordle answers official?
No. This is an independent practice set and does not claim access to another publisher's private answer schedule.
How are game words and examples chosen?
Each mechanic uses a finite set authored for that rule and checked for expected length, characters, duplicates, legal paths, and answers. The set is practice data for this site, not a claim to contain every valid English word.
Why was a real word rejected?
Each game uses a finite challenge set and its own rules for length, repetition, proper nouns, or inflections. A rejection means the entry is outside that challenge, not that it can never be valid English.
Does generative AI score my game?
No. Core game feedback, distances, and Duel ratings come from stated rules and calculations. Automation may help prepare a draft or visual, but published material still passes the site's accuracy, originality, and accessibility checks.
How do the computer levels differ?
The levels change how consistently the computer selects stronger legal candidates from the checked game data. Easy makes more forgiving choices; higher levels choose stronger moves more often. The labels do not claim equivalence with human skill.
Can a teacher use Wordmap as a lesson activity?
Yes. Games and tools can be opened without student accounts. Results are practice feedback, not a formal grade, diagnosis, or complete vocabulary assessment.
How do Duel rankings work?
A private browser token identifies your player record. Only completed server-scored player versus player matches update the public Elo-style rating. Your email address is not required, and the rating applies only to Wordmap Duels.
Why are some scheduled articles held back?
A scheduled article remains unpublished when it does not yet meet the site's minimum originality, sourcing, functionality, and quality checks.
Where are my solo statistics?
Solo game statistics stay in local storage in the browser you used. Clearing site data removes them.
Does the geography game use my location?
No. The game selects places from Wordmap's own checked dataset and does not request device location.
Is Play Scrabble an official Scrabble game?
No. It is an independent Wordmap implementation of familiar 15 by 15 crossword tile mechanics and English tile values. Its premium layout, interface, code, computer opponents, and finite word bank are Wordmap originals. It is not an official board, dictionary, rating, or online service and is not sponsored or endorsed by the trademark owners.
