Chat Game Overlay

🟩 Chat Wordle

Your whole chat works together to solve a 5-letter Wordle puzzle. Any viewer can type a 5-letter word as a guess - green, yellow, and grey tiles reveal live on stream.

Play a Round

Type any 5-letter word to submit a guess - just like your viewers do on stream.

Stream Chat LIVE

What Makes It Fun

Runs automatically once added to OBS. No commands, no configuration.

🟩🟨⬜

Classic Wordle Logic

Green for correct position, yellow for wrong position, grey for not in the word. Exactly the Wordle your chat already knows.

👥

Collaborative Chat

Any viewer can type a 5-letter word and it becomes the next guess. The whole chat works together across 6 attempts to crack the word.

🔁

Auto-Cycling Rounds

Win or lose, a fresh word is picked automatically and the board resets. No intervention needed - it just keeps going.

📝

Custom Word Lists

Supply a plain-text URL of your own 5-letter words to theme the game around your stream (games you play, inside jokes, etc.).

🔒

Per-User Cooldown

A short cooldown between guesses per viewer prevents any single person from spamming all 6 rows alone.

Use With Pogly

Running Pogly instead of a plain browser source? Import the widget directly.

If you entered your channel name in the setup step above, it will already be pre-filled in the import.

How Chat Plays

No setup needed for viewers - just type in chat.

  1. The overlay shows a 6-row Wordle grid for a hidden 5-letter word.
  2. Any viewer types any 5-letter word directly into chat - no command prefix needed.
  3. The word is scored: 🟩 correct position, 🟨 wrong position, ⬜ not in word.
  4. Chat has 6 total guesses to find the word. Rows fill up as guesses come in.
  5. If the word is found the board resets with a new word after a short pause. If all 6 rows are used up, the answer is revealed before the next round starts.

Tip: There's a short per-viewer cooldown so no single viewer can claim all 6 rows. Guesses must be exactly 5 letters A–Z (no spaces or symbols).

Frequently Asked

Does it need any API keys or accounts?

No - Chat Wordle reads public chat anonymously using Twitch's IRC and Kick's public WebSocket. No tokens, no accounts.

Can I use my own theme-specific words?

Yes. Host a plain text file of 5-letter words (one per line) anywhere publicly accessible (GitHub raw, Gist, etc.) and paste the URL in the setup. Choose Custom only to use exclusively your words, or Custom + Default to mix them with the built-in bank.

What happens if nobody guesses in 6 tries?

The answer is shown on the overlay for a few seconds, then a fresh word is picked and the board resets automatically.

Are the built-in words TOS-friendly?

Yes - every word in the built-in bank was reviewed to be appropriate for all-ages Twitch and Kick streams. No profanity, slurs, or inappropriate content.

Can I use it while not streaming?

The overlay works at any time, but chat guesses only come in when viewers can type, which requires a live stream on Twitch or Kick.
