About the Game
Word bomb is a Roblox game where players must type in words according to the prompt on the screen before the bomb explodes. They have 2 lives, lose both and they're out.

The bomb gradually increases in speed and prompts also get harder over time. The last bomb, Skull Bomb, features 3-letter prompts. The game continues until 1 player is left. A maximum of 9 players can join a server.

Example of the game process (Note that the example picture is not the same as the explanation):

Player 1 gets prompt CA. They play CALIFORNIA, which is valid.

Player 2 gets SE. They play SEA. It is valid.

Player 3 gets a hard one: KA. They tried KITKAT, but it is invalid. They cannot think of a word in time, and they lose a life.

Player 4 is good at the game. Even though they get the same hard prompt, KA, they play KARATEKA, which is a valid Expert word.

There are only 4 people in the server, so it is passed back to player 1 and loops again, getting the same or different prompts.

Bomb Types (undone)
These are the all the types of bombs in the game (as in v2).


 * Black Bomb
 * Red Bomb
 * Skull/Death Bomb
 * Bullet/Happy Bomb

Private server commands
When playing on a public server gets boring, one can spice things up again by playing with different modes, generations, or dictionaries. They can only be used in a private server, and only the host can change them by inputting commands into the chat.

Modes
Modes alter how the bomb works. Changing the mode can be done by typing "/mode " into the chat.
 * Default, where the game starts off with the Black Bomb, then to the Red Bomb, then to the Skull Bomb.
 * Hard, skips Red Bomb and goes straight to Skull Bomb.
 * Bullet, turns on the Bullet Bomb and shortens the time available to type to 1.5-3.3 seconds.

Generation Types
Generations alter how the prompts work. Changing the generation can be done by typing "/generation " into the chat.


 * Default/Waterfall, the regular mode used in public servers.
 * PrefAlt generation, the previous default for generating prompts. It favors prompts that alternate between vowels and consonants and prefers certain letters over others.
 * Legacy, the old way prompts were generated in Word Bomb. All prompts are two characters, and the generator simply grabs a random word and grabs a random snippet from that word. This allows words that can't be played in Waterfall, like sky and xylyl. A list of these words can be found here.
 * Blanks, formerly known as "Hyphens" due to the ability to type hyphens, however you can type hyphens in all modes. Its prompt generation now has a blank (or two) in it, like I_E and _ _BE.
 * Shiritori (which is not listed as a mode), where the first player types a word and the next uses the last 2 letters for the prompt, unless impossible, then it's just the last letter. If a player explodes, the next can type any word now.
 * Static (not listed), where the only prompt is A.
 * Empty (not listed), Simply lets the player type any word (apart from already used words).

Dictionaries
Dictionaries alter what dictionary the game will use. Changing it can be done by typing "/dictionary " into the chat (ie: "/dictionary English").
 * English (Default)
 * EnglishNouns
 * EnglishVerbs
 * EnglishAdjectives
 * EnglishAdverbs
 * EnglishPronouns
 * EnglishPrepositions
 * EnglishConjunctions
 * EnglishInterjections
 * EnglishRandom
 * Pokémon
 * Gou
 * omw
 * Lard

Tips for Winning
Main article: Tips and Tricks


 * Remember the letter combinations, especially the tricky ones ("RW" as in "underwater", "KA" as in "blockages", and "EB" as in "hereby" are some examples.).
 * Start large, then go smaller. Later in the game, the time will go faster, so should you get "ER", if you have plenty of time, type words like "countercountermeasures" or "interchangeably", but if time is limited, type words like "heron" or "terrain".
 * Remember word roots (Many people struggle unnecessarily with "ED", but they tend to forget past tense verbs, like "cooked" and "panicked". Also, if you are struggling for words with the same letter combination, taking "LI" for example, use plurals, different tenses, and similar sounding words; "LI" could be "like", "likes, "liked", "liking", "line" and AN could be "annotate", "annotates", "annotated", "annotation", "ant", and........... "and".
 * Use this and this to know long words and words that (potentially) people haven't used yet.
 * Three letter prompts. Many people struggle unnecessarily when it comes to prompts like "ATI" as they are looking for words which begin with "ATI". However, they always forget that "ATI" can end with an "ing" or "tion", so the prompt can just be "_ATING" or because you know that "ATI" can end with "ing". Thus, you can already come up with one (or more) suitable words (rating, hating, mating, etc.). Some of the hardest three letter prompts are these: "ENA", "HIR", "UMI". For "ENA", some suitable words are "menace", "menaces", and "menacing". For "HIR", some suitable words are "bloodthirstinesses", "thirstinesses", "thirst", "shirt", etc. For "UMI", some suitable words are "aluminum", "aluminums", "consuming", "humiliate". A WIP list of 3-letter prompts and suitable words can be found here.
