Every word is a permanent claim
Find a word before your opponent and it's captured for the match. They can't use it — and can't score it. The word list shrinks with every find.
Diction is a competitive word hunt game that plays like boggle online, but with one twist that changes everything: every word someone finds is permanently captured. First to submit the word keeps it — your opponent can never use it again.
The 5×5 board starts full of letters. As you and your opponent race to trace words, claimed words vanish from the possible word list, and the board pressure shifts. It's not just about finding words — it's about finding them before the other player does.
