Words of Despair

Trapped in a burning building with only 1% battery, you scramble to send a message for help. But you can only use a limited set of words. Choose wisely, or be consumed by the flames!

A text-based survival puzzle where every word counts.

Can you craft the perfect message before it’s too late?

  • Pro Tip #1: If none of the words seem useful, try messaging someone else and then give it another shot!
  • Pro Tip #2: A bad message can lower your chances of success, so choose wisely!
