Equal starting letters
Both players begin with the same letter set. The contest starts even — exactly as the name promises.
Welcome to Even Steven — the world's most advanced, family-friendly word game. Both players start on equal footing from the first move. No lucky draw. No waiting for the perfect rack. Just words, position, timing, and strategy.
The website now begins with Even Steven letter tiles scrambling into place and then moves directly into a fictitious self-playing game on a randomized Even Steven board.
Traditional word games can turn on which letters happen to come your way. Even Steven starts both players with the same letters, so the advantage comes from what you do with them.
