About the Game
Word bomb is a Roblox game where players must type in words containing the prompt given to them before the timer runs out (the dark blue circle around the bomb) and the bomb explodes. Each player has 2 lives. After losing both lives, you lose.

The bomb gradually increases in speed until a player loses a life. Prompts may get harder by either the bomb or over time. The game continues until only one player remains, which will be the winner of the previous round. A maximum of 9 players can join a server.

Example of a game
(Note that the example picture is not the same as the explanation.)

Player 1 gets prompt CA. They play CALIFORNIA, which is valid. (Even though it’s a proper noun, some states may work because they were manually added as to not confuse Americans.)

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

Player 3 gets a hard one: KA. They tried KITKAT, but it is invalid as it is a proper noun. 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, the first bomb. It is the easiest one.
 * Red Bomb, the second bomb.Aa little bit harder than the Black Bomb.
 * Skull/Death Bomb, the third and hardest bomb.
 * Bullet/Happy Bomb, a special bomb that is explained below.

Private server commands
When playing on a public server gets boring, one can play with different modes, generations, or dictionaries in a private server. Only the server’s owner 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, the regular mode used in public servers. The game starts off with the Black Bomb, then to the Red Bomb, then to the Skull Bomb.
 * Hard, which buffs the Black and Skull bomb. Skips Red Bomb and goes straight to Skull Bomb.
 * Bullet, which only has the Happy Bomb and shortens the timer to 1.5-3.3 seconds.

Generation Types
Generations alter how prompts are generated. 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 generation 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.
 * Blanks, formerly known as "Hyphens" due to the ability to type hyphens (you can type hyphens in all modes now). The prompt generated will contain 1 or 2 blanks in it i.e. I_E and _ _BE.
 * Shiritori, where the first player can type any word. The next prompt will contain the last 2 letters of the previous word. If there are no more possible solves for the last 2 letters of the previous word, the prompt generated will only have the last letter. If a player loses a life, the next player can type any word.
 * Static, where the only prompt generated is A.
 * Empty, which does not generate prompts, and simply lets the player type any word (except 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 "blockage(s)", 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(s)" or "terrain(s)".
 * 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", plus "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 "-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 "bloodthirstiness(es)", "thirstiness(es)", "thirst(s)", "shirt(s)", "hiragana", etc. For "UMI", some suitable words are "aluminum(s)", "consuming", "humiliate(s)/(ed)/ing". A WIP list of 3-letter prompts and suitable words can be found here.
