What it is
A Telegram-native multiplayer word game, and the one project here that I part-own. Real-time battles, daily puzzles, leaderboards, friend challenges, and collectibles that earn while other people play. Live at v3.5.1.
The economy, honestly
The economy runs off-chain today: TILE settles play, Telegram Stars handle purchases where Telegram wants them handled, and XP is the currency money cannot buy. The chain layer is designed rather than shipped — a single Jetton collection on TON with on-chain withdrawal is specified and staged, held back deliberately until the off-chain loop has earned it. Shipping a wallet before anyone wants one is how these games die.
