Solo Shiritori

🟣 Solo Shiritori

Go 1v1 against a learning, unpredictable AI in this personal word chain challenge. It’s just you, your vocabulary, and a bot that learns your style the longer you play.

🔹 How to Start

Use /soloshiritori → The bot will create a private thread just for your game. → A random starting word will be posted, and the AI will wait for your response.

Solo games do not interfere with multiplayer sessions and can be played anytime — even during another game.

🔹 How to Play

Each word you submit must:
- Start with the last letter of the previous word.
- Not repeat anything played earlier in that session.
- Be found in the bot’s dictionary (which includes standard words, acronyms, hyphenated terms, and more).
After your turn, the AI will respond with a word of its own — if it can.

🧠 About the AI Opponent

The AI starts off at Rookie level — basic strategy, common words.
As the game progresses, it adapts:
- It learns your playstyle.
- It randomly adjusts its difficulty, sometimes using advanced logic or even niche words.

Think of it as a shapeshifter — you never quite know what version of the bot you’ll get next.

🛑 How the Game Ends

Your solo session ends if:

You play an invalid word (wrong starting letter, repeat, or not in dictionary).
You’re inactive for 5 minutes.
You give up or close the thread.

You can always start a new session immediately after.

🧩 Tips for Solo Mastery

Use /check before you risk an unknown word — better safe than sorry.
Trick the AI with short, weirdly-ending words like "xylophone" or "fjord".
Don’t rely too much on patterns — it learns faster than you'd expect.
If you lose, don’t stress — solo mode is built to make you better.
