Super-Shiritori is a Discord bot that runs a word-chain game in which players respond with a word beginning with the final letter of the previous word. Alongside its core game, the bot supports several related word-based modes, tracks detailed player statistics, and maintains a dictionary of more than one million entries.
Features
- Multiplayer and solo word-chain gameplay, against other players or AI opponents with distinct personalities
- A dictionary exceeding one million entries, drawn from acronyms, user submissions, foreign-language borrowings, constructed languages, and established published dictionaries
- Additional game modes, including Word Bomb, Wordle, and Anagram
- A rarity-based word rolling and trading system
- Player statistics, leaderboards, and a leveling system with unlockable titles
- Deployable in any Discord server
- A small number of hidden text-trigger commands functioning as puzzle easter eggs

A small number of additional text-trigger commands exist as hidden puzzle easter eggs. Their exact triggers are not documented publicly.
AI Opponents
Multiplayer games may include an AI opponent, added either randomly through /invite_ai or by summoning a specific personality with a text command. Each personality follows its own word-selection logic; for example, NOOB favors short, simple words, PRO requires words of at least twelve letters, and MIMIC attempts to answer with an anagram of the player's own last word.
When added through /invite_ai, the personality is chosen from a weighted random pool. AVERAGE is the most common outcome, ASSASSIN occupies a small residual probability, and Sniper is excluded from random assignment entirely, appearing only as a dedicated event AI.
Summoning a Personality
Players in an active multiplayer game may attempt to summon a specific AI personality with a text command. Each attempt has an independent success chance and enters its own cooldown regardless of outcome.
| Command | Personality | Success Rate | Cooldown | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
!noob |
NOOB | 100% | 1 minute | |

* Success rate could not be independently confirmed against the reviewed source and should be verified before being treated as authoritative.
Removing an AI
The /murder_ai command attempts to remove the active AI from a multiplayer game. Against any personality other than ASSASSIN, removal always succeeds. Against ASSASSIN specifically, the success chance drops to 1%, and failure silences the acting player for 120 valid words.
Game Modes
Multiplayer Shiritori
The core game mode. Players take turns submitting words in a shared channel, each beginning with the final letter of the previous word. Repeated words, invalid characters, and words that do not follow the required letter all end a player's turn or the game, depending on server configuration.
Solo Shiritori
A private word-chain match played against an adaptive AI opponent in a dedicated thread. The AI begins as ROOKIE and its behavior shifts over time based on the player's performance and random chance.
Word Bomb
An elimination game for up to 16 players, each starting with three lives. On each turn, a player must submit a valid dictionary word containing an assigned prompt string before a timer runs out; failing to do so costs a life.
Games are configured with several options when started through /wordbomb:
- Bomb speed
- Slow, Standard, Fast, or Rapid, controlling the countdown timer
- Starting difficulty
- one of fifteen named buckets, based on how many dictionary words contain a given prompt, from Tranquil (120,000+ matches) down to Suicide (1 to 9 matches)
- Prompt length
- configurable between 2 and 4 letters
- Special characters
- hyphens and apostrophes can each be independently allowed or disallowed
- Categories
- an optional filter restricting prompts to a themed word list
The full set of difficulty buckets, from most to least common: Tranquil, Gentle, Steady, Unruly, Fierce, Ruthless, Brutal, Twisted, Aberrant, Chaos, Nightmare, Unreal, Void, Oblivion, and Suicide.
The available category filters are: Blacklist, Cosmos, Geology, Languages, Mathology, Ideologies Religions & Cults, Songs & Albums, Creatures, Plants, Colorology, Food & Drinks, Phobias, Pokedex, Toponyms, Ologies, Numbers, Palindromes, Longs, and Smolz.
Wordle
A private word-guessing game with two modes: Standardized, which applies stricter word validity rules, and Full Dictionary, which allows any word in the bot's full dictionary. Players choose a target word length between 5 and 18 letters and may optionally allow hyphenated words as valid answers. Win streaks are tracked separately for each word length and mode.
Anagram
A private single-player game in which the bot selects a base word between 11 and 20 letters, containing no hyphens or apostrophes. The player attempts to find as many valid words as possible using only the letters available in that base word. A round requires at least five possible solutions to begin.
Dictionary Tools
Two related but separate features track a player's progress through the dictionary. /dictionaries reports progress against specific themed word lists. /wordhunt is a recurring personal challenge, refreshing every 12 hours, that surfaces dictionary words the player has not yet used.
Development
Super-Shiritori has been developed and maintained by Ghost (no_where.ghost_002) since November 22, 2024, with administrative and moderation support from Kos (kos256) and GreenyMage (greenymage).
The bot's dictionary began as a small curated word list originally compiled by OMG, creator of the Roblox game Word Bomb. It later expanded through a bulk import of 320,000 words, followed by ongoing contributions from users, dictionary scraping from sources such as Merriam-Webster and Oxford, and the inclusion of acronyms, constructed languages, and foreign-language borrowings. The dictionary now exceeds one million entries. There is no anti-cheat system in place; players are free to consult external dictionaries or search engines, though playing without assistance is encouraged.
As of August 13, 2026, the bot has run continuously, 24 hours a day, on hardware maintained directly by its developer, Ghost. This followed a military permanent change of station (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".) relocation, with household expenses, including hosting costs, covered as part of U.S. government support connected to the move.
Official Design
- The name is always spelled "Super-Shiritori".
- The official color is hex #F91000, informally named "Shiritorier's-Orange" as of December 1.
- The logo is a mahjong-style tile featuring the Japanese characters ボ ("bo") and ツ ("tsu").
