So, here comes the opportunity of challenging your friends on Wordle Unlimited and I was preparing myself mentally for long and complicated registration process or at least login process. Isn't it how it works everywhere? Well, here I've got the quickest setup process which is faster than it takes to cool down my cup of coffee. So, the following step-by-step guide will help you to understand how to start your first friend challenge within thirty seconds on wordleunlimited.dev

Why Setup Is So Quick

The reason why this setup process takes such short time is that there is nothing additional you have to do while setting up the challenge. There is no login required, no email addresses, no accounts creation. All you have to do is to visit the website and select Unlimited tab and that's it. At least in my opinion, it should be this way with any game, but unfortunately, we always have to go through three permissions and mailing list subscription before anything. However, thanks to Wordle Unlimited, I could instantly get into the game which is pretty uncommon.

The Actual Thirty Second Setup Step By Step

Thus, what do you have to do in order to create a challenge? Here is what I've done and I will measure the time I spent for each of those actions. First action – opening wordleunlimited.dev website on your phone which took four seconds. Second action – tapping Unlimited tab on the top of the page which was selected by default already, so no time spent. Third action – scrolling a bit and tapping on Challenge A Friend button which was located in the middle of the page. Fourth action – typing in the word of your choice in the input field in my case it was five-letter word which is hard to guess which took six seconds. Fifth action – leaving all the optional settings as they are and tapping on Create Challenge Link button. The link is created. Sixth action – tapping the Share button and selecting your favorite platform in my case it was WhatsApp. So, according to my measurements, it took me about twenty-two seconds to complete this process, most of which was used for thinking of the word.

Optional Settings To Make the Challenge More Interesting

If you want to make the challenge more interesting, then optional settings are well thought of and you will spend about five seconds filling them in. Name is optional but you have to fill it in because the person who receives the link will see your name and it will add some personal touch. Time limit is where it gets interesting as you can choose between no limit, thirty seconds, one minute and two minutes. For me, thirty seconds option is the best one as it will make the challenge more interesting and will provide some adrenaline rush to your friend. The last optional setting is Allow Hints which allows your friend to reveal two letters of the word you set in random positions in case your friend is stuck. This is something good to use with non-hardcore players.

Sending the Link Without Any Troubles

After creating the link, the only thing left is sending the link. It is one of those rare moments when you understand how easy things can be. Website has the button right next to the link which allows you to copy and paste the link wherever you want and mobile version has share sheet which allows you to send the link immediately to your messaging app. I have tried sending the challenges via WhatsApp, Instagram messages and even via regular SMS to my father who refused to use anything else. In each of those cases, the link was working perfectly fine on the other side and my friend/family member got straight to the game with the word already loaded.

What Your Friend Will See on the Other Side

From the receiving side of the experience, everything is rather seamless and it is rather important. Your friend receives the link, clicks on it and sees the screen where he or she is being challenged and taps on Accept button in order to start playing. If you set a time limit, then it will start ticking for your friend as soon as he/she accepts the challenge, which makes it feel like game show. After completing the puzzle game, your friend gets the chance to share his/her result with you which includes the number of attempts and the word itself revealed. After that, there is a button to send you back the challenge with the word himself/herself. And this is where it may turn into the entertaining evening of Wordle tournament.

Final Words

Creating your first friend challenge on Wordle Unlimited takes literally less than thirty seconds if you know where to click. And the design of the site is so smooth and frictionless that it feels quite unusual comparing to the internet experience in general. No login, no accounts creation, no data collection, no permission requests, you just have to enter the word and send the link. Go to wordleunlimited.dev, click on Unlimited tab and give it a try with anyone from your contacts list. You will be sending more challenges than you expect.
