What is Letter League?

Letter League is an Activity that we've developed here at Discord. Letter League is a game where you and your friends take turns placing letters on a shared game board to create words in a crossword-style. Spelling words with high earning letters and placing letters on special spaces earn players more points, so get your dictionaries and thesauri ready!

Want to join in on the shenanigans?

Since we’re still testing, Letter League is only available in a small (random) selection of servers. However, you can play it and other early Activities in the public Discord Games Lab server!

Since the game is still an experimental experience, we’re looking to hear feedback directly from our users so you’ll see Discord devs in there pretty frequently!
