How to play Ghost

You and the computer take turns adding one letter to a growing fragment. Each letter you add must keep at least one real word still possible — but if you add a letter that completes a valid word (of four letters or more), you lose the round. Bluff, steer toward traps, and challenge if you think your opponent is stuck. Win rounds to climb the board.

Ghost — frequently asked questions

How do I lose a round?

By being the player who adds the letter that finishes a real word, or by adding a letter that can’t start any word.

Can I challenge the computer?

Yes — if you think no word can follow the current fragment, challenge it; if you’re right, the computer loses the round.
