Word Scramble chat game: unscramble to win
The bot posts a word with its letters shuffled and the first viewer to type the real word wins points. Built-in words in English and Hebrew, or add your own.
How a round works
A moderator types !scramble, or a timer starts it. The bot posts a word with its letters shuffled, and the overlay shows the letters as tiles. The first viewer whose message is exactly the word wins the reward, 100 points by default. After 45 seconds without a winner the word is revealed.
Capital letters, accents and punctuation don’t matter, but the message must be the word alone.

There are no bets: the winner receives the reward from your points system. The built-in list has words in English and Hebrew; channels in other languages get English. Set a minimum and maximum word length, or add up to 2000 of your own words, used together with the built-in list.

Set up Word Scramble
- Turn on the points system on the Points page, or switch on “Play without points” on the Mini-games page if you want rounds without stakes.
- Open Mini-games in the dashboard sidebar and switch Word Scramble on.
- Press Configure to change the rules, timing, look and every chat message the bot sends for this game.
- Use the Test button next to the overlay preview to play a practice round on your overlay. Test rounds never move points and never post in chat.
Show it on stream
Word Scramble is already part of your all-in-one overlay, so if that browser source is in your scene there is nothing else to add. The game stays invisible until a round starts and fades out when it ends.
If you want to place the game on its own, copy the overlay URL from the game’s settings page and add it in OBS as a Browser source at the size shown next to the URL. Keep that URL private: it belongs to your channel.
The overlay only shows the result; the outcome is decided on the server with a cryptographic random number before the animation starts. If no overlay is open, the result is posted in chat straight away.
