AutoQ
Solo Quiddler — play 8 hands (3-10 cards) against bot opponents.
How the Game is Played
AutoQ is a solo round of Quiddler. You play against two, three, or four bots whose hands are replayed from real recorded games — not made up. Form words from the cards you're dealt, score points, and beat the house.
The Hands
Eight rounds, numbered 3 through 10. The hand number is the most cards you may play. Each hand deals you hand + 3 cards, so you must always leave at least three unplayed.
Hand 3 → 6 cards dealt, play up to 3, discard 3.
Hand 10 → 13 cards dealt, play up to 10, discard 3.
The Cards
Standard letters, plus five digraphs—QU, TH, CL, IN, ER— each a single card with its own point value. Use any combination that spells a real word; leftover cards stay unplayed for the round.
Scoring a Hand
Type your words into the input. The crier checks each one against Merriam-Webster's Collegiate (and Medical) dictionaries. Invalid words bounce back before scoring; valid plays earn the point sum of their cards.
Stars
A hand with three or more total players and no ties awards two stars: one for the longest word played this hand, one for the most words. Each star is worth +10 points toward your effective score.
Mulligans
Not happy with your deal? Take a mulligan to redeal the hand. Each mulligan costs you one card slot — both on the deal and on the max you may play — down to a floor of two playable cards.
Hand 5, 1 mulligan → 7 cards dealt, play up to 4, discard 3.
Winning
Highest effective total (raw score plus stars × 10) across all eight hands wins. When a game ends you can optionally add your name to the Tavern's Ledger below.
Your Table
Your running tab at the tavern. Survives new hands and new games; reset when you settle up or close the tab. A proper ledger — wins, streaks, a name at the top — arrives when the tavern installs a guestbook (login).
The Tavern's Ledger
Every hand played in the house, anonymous or named. Top scores get a line on the scroll when the player leaves a name.
