A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

A live word race for your whole chat. A secret word hides as blank tiles and viewers race to guess it in chat. Any guess that matches more of the word than is shown instantly uncovers those letters for everyone. First to complete the word wins the round.

Play Find the Word on Livecade. It runs as one browser source in TikTok LIVE Studio, OBS or Streamlabs, or straight from your phone. Viewers install nothing: they play with the chat, likes and gifts TikTok already gives them.

About the game

Find the Word turns your chat into a live word race that runs itself. A secret word sits on screen as blank tiles, and every comment is a guess: the moment a viewer types a guess that shares more of the word's start than is currently revealed, those letters flip open in green for the whole room and that guesser scores points per letter.

A gift can help, but never buy the round

Gifts push the reveal one letter further to help the crowd close in, but never uncover the final letter, so the winning word still has to be typed by somebody.

Runs itself, round after round

The first viewer to type the complete word wins the round early with a bonus, gets read aloud, and tops the round and session leaderboards, then a fresh word begins after a short break. Run it on a per-round timer or play until solved, tune the scoring, and pick from twelve languages, each with its own native bank of two thousand or more words so nothing repeats until the whole bank cycles.

How viewers play

Viewers join in with comments and gifts. Every action below can be bound to any of them, so you decide which gift, comment or like drives which effect.

  • Reveal a letter: Uncovers one more letter of the hidden word for everyone and credits the gifter, but never the last letter

How it works

Every comment is a guess. A secret word hides as blank tiles. Any guess that matches more of the word's start than is shown instantly flips those letters open, in green, for the whole room, and scores the guesser points per letter.

Gifts push the reveal. A gift uncovers one more letter to help the crowd close in, but it can never reveal the final letter. Gifts help chat along, but the winning word still has to be typed.

First to spell it wins. The first viewer to type the complete word wins the round early with a bonus, gets read aloud, and tops the round and session leaderboards, then a fresh word begins.

FAQ

How do viewers play Find the Word?
Viewers just type guesses in your TikTok Live chat. Any guess that matches more of the hidden word's start than is currently shown instantly uncovers those letters for everyone, and the first to type the whole word wins the round.

Do viewers need to send gifts to play?
No. Guessing is free and comment-driven. Gifts uncover one extra letter to help the whole room close in, but never the final one, so gifting helps chat without ever buying the win outright.

What languages does it support?
Twelve languages, and each one has its own native word bank of two thousand or more words rather than a translation of an English list. Viewers guess in whichever language you set for the show.

How do I add Find the Word to my TikTok Live?
