Two displays
Open it.
Pick a side.
Set an open iPhone Duo on the table between the two teams, like a small laptop. Each display shows its own half of the round, and every control stays on the inner display. With camera access, a small camera view on the inner display shows the team across the table. The image is never recorded or sent, and without it the games play on the inner display.

Give both teams their own names before the match starts.
Easy, Normal or Hard

Points to win
Race to 10, 20 or 30 points, or 5, 10 or 15 in Draw.

Fresh words first
Words you have already played wait until every unseen word has had its turn.
