Your True Name is a spell-generation storytelling game to play with some choice five-letter words. It is a one-page Lost & Found hack of Wordle, the online spelling sensation, designed to be one-player and played in fifteen minutes or less!

In Your True Name, you become a magic word being Spoken by generations of spellcasters, each of them trying to use your magic and get closer to Your True Name (today’s Wordle answer). The game changes each day with the Wordle and with each player’s guesses, making the replayability endless and a perfect way to generate fun spells for your other campaigns and games.

All that’s needed to play is a way to write and record answers to guiding questions and your answers from Wordle: you can always play today’s here. Through three phases of the game:

  • The Beginning
  • The Sharpening
  • The Truth

You, as the magic word you inhabit, can travel between the lips of waterfall watchers, bandit-kings, aeronauts, illusionists, and Mage College adjuncts, changing and growing in both power and potential volatility. You can see the results of one playthrough at this TikTok, hear/read an actual play here, and read two playthroughs here.

Included in this release are mobile and US-letter print-friendly versions of Your True Name, both in light and dark color themes, as well as colorblind-friendly versions for all of these releases, and a play mode for several players called Continental Language. It is being sold for $3 (as my first game since I quit my day job to pursue TTRPG design) because I want the most people and Wordle-lovers to play this game, so please consider supporting! Every few copies bought allow me to list communities copies, so thank you for your support.
