Arena · you against the bots

Elimination

Everyone writes a word at the same moment. In each stage, players who match claim safe spots, earliest typist first. The rest keep trying until the Quota is out. Two players left play the Final.

Theme

Every word, including seed words, has to fit. Broad categories work best in Arena.

Smart AI

Off: the server has no free model key yet. Bots use the built-in AI, which works the same everywhere.

Players

You plus 5 bots. Elimination needs 3 to 10 players.

Number of players

6 players

Quota

Q is how many players go out in every stage. It never leaves fewer than two players (E-2).

The field

6, 4, 2, then the Final

6 players, Q = 2: 2 stages, 4 safe spots in stage 1.

For example, with 10 players and Q = 2 the field goes 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 then the Final.
