# Word Bomb

> Word Bomb (wordbomb.io) is a free multiplayer online word game developed and published by Cainra LLC. Players take turns around a bomb; when it lands on you, a few letters appear and you must type a real word containing them before the fuse runs out. Lose all your hearts and you are eliminated, and the last player standing wins the round.

Word Bomb runs in a web browser, as a Discord Activity, and on Android. It supports 23 languages and rooms of up to 32 players. Game modes include Original, Chain Word, Letter Link, Skill Check, Sketch, Trivia, Typing Race and Map. Beyond the core game it has ranked play, word discoveries and claims, categories, cosmetics and clans.

It is distinct from other unrelated titles called Word Bomb. The canonical site is https://wordbomb.io/ and the Android package is com.cainra.wordbomb.
