Help with One Word

A story game where every turn is a single word

How is a turn played?

Type one word and send it. Little joining words such as "the", "a" or "and" can ride along with it for free, and so can a comma or a full stop, but only the word you chose counts as yours. Then hand the phone to the next player.

What is a Secret Story?

Each player sees only the last word before adding theirs. Nobody reads the whole thing until the story ends, when it is revealed in one go.

Who is the AI I can play with?

Pick one of five personalities when starting a story, from Noir to Gentle. It chooses words with rules built into the app, on the phone itself. It does not use the internet and it never changes a word a person wrote.

I sent the wrong word.

Right after sending there are five seconds to take it back. After that the word belongs to the story.

How do I move my stories to a new phone?

Stories live only on the phone they were written on. On the story list, open the small phone button to reach Backup, save the file somewhere safe, then use Restore on the new phone. A secret story that is still being written is left out of the file until it has finished, so nobody can read ahead.

I deleted the app and my stories are gone.

With no account and no server, there is no copy anywhere else to bring back. A backup file saved beforehand is the only way to restore them.
