Constriction

Word guessing on a timer

Constriction is a turn-based word-guessing strategy game for PC. You and an opponent try to solve unknown word prompts faster than each other. Correctly guessed letters tighten the noose around the person on the other end; the first to suffocate loses.

You make educated guesses by spotting word patterns, and a letter that appears more than once tightens the noose less than a single occurrence. Guessing the full word with the buzzer loosens it. Wrong guesses tighten it, while too many typos or an expired timer can end the round.
