Lexis is a real-time multiplayer spelling game built for teachers and parents. A host creates a word list, players join a lobby, and the game reads each word aloud — players race to spell it correctly. Think Wordle meets a spelling bee, with live scoring and a podium at the end.
How it works
The host inputs a list of words which are queued into rounds. Each round, the word is spoken via text-to-speech and hidden from players — only the word length is shown. Wrong guesses deduct points; completing a round awards everyone a base score. The leaderboard updates live throughout.
Built in a weekend with a team that had never used React or WebSockets before.
