Sixteen dice, one grid, everybody hunting at once — and a word two of you found is worth nothing to either of you. 1 to 8 people in a browser, about 10 minutes.
Three minutes a shake and everybody plays all of it simultaneously, so it scales from one person to eight without changing shape. It is the shelf's most reliable filler while a call is assembling.
The duplicate rule is what makes it social rather than solitary: the points are in the words nobody else saw, so the reveal is where the table finds out how differently four people read the same sixteen letters.
