New Rules Tab, Exploring all the Available Features

Updated: May 12

📋 New Feature: The Rules Tab

No more guessing how your league works.

We just rolled out a brand-new Rules tab on every league's public page — and it's mirrored right on the WordPlay League website too.

What's in it?

The Rules tab is your league's single source of truth. Everything your players need to know, all in one place:

📊 Minimum Weekly Scores — See exactly how many games you need to play each week to qualify. Your league manager picks the threshold (anywhere from 3 to 7), and only your best scores count. Play all 7 days? Your worst scores get tossed. It even shows the current setting with a visual indicator so there's zero confusion.

🏆 Season Wins — How many weekly wins does it take to claim the season? Standard leagues need 4, Division Mode leagues need 3. It's all laid out clearly.

🕐 Window to Post — Scores are accepted from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM Pacific Time, and only today's puzzle counts. No sneaking in yesterday's score.

❌ Fails Don't Count — Bombed it with an X/6? It won't tank your weekly total. Failed attempts show up for bragging (roasting?) rights but don't count against you.

🤝 Ties Share the Win — Two players finish with the same total? They both get the W. Same goes for the season — if multiple players hit the win target at the same time, they share the crown.

⚔️ Division Mode — If your league runs divisions, the Rules tab breaks down promotion, relegation, immunity for newly promoted players, and what happens when someone misses a week. If your league doesn't run divisions yet, it explains how to get started (hint: you need 6+ players).

🤖 AI Messaging — See which AI messages are turned on in your league — perfect score celebrations, daily worst score roasts, fail reactions, Sunday race updates, and Monday recaps. Each one shows its current status (ON/OFF), a sample message, and the league's current tone setting (Gentle → Savage).

🔄 Data Reset & Revert — A quick note on the manager's ability to reset season data, all-time stats, or individual player stats, with revert windows for peace of mind.

Why we built it

Every league has that one player who asks "wait, how many games do I need to play?" on a Wednesday. Now you can just say: check the Rules tab.

It's live on every league page right now — just tap the Rules button at the top. And if you're checking out WordPlay League for the first time, the same info is on our website so you know exactly what you're signing up for.

Happy Wordling! 🟩🟨⬛

7 sounds pretty tough, just don't miss any days, or fail any days I guess!
