Discord Bots

Overview

Super-Shiritori is a custom Discord bot designed to run a smart and fun word game. It challenges players to continue a word chain where each new word starts with the last letter of the previous one. The bot includes special rules, unique gameplay modes, and comprehensive word tracking to keep things interesting.

Even though it’s actively maintained and improved, Super-Shiritori has always had its fair share of quirks, bugs, and glorious mishaps — just part of its charm.

Super-Shiritori began over three years ago using a small curated list from the OMG Community. It later expanded with a bulk import of 320,000 words and ongoing contributions from users. The dictionary now includes:

Over 1,000,000 entries
Acronyms
User-submitted words
Foreign languages
Constructed languages (conlangs)
Dictionary scraping (Merriam-Webster, Oxford)

There is no anti-cheat system. Players are free to use external tools like Google or dictionaries, though playing blind is encouraged for maximum fun and learning.

🎮 Unique Game Modes

Word Bomb: Elimination speed game — submit valid words before the bomb explodes.
