Run it in your Slack · Be the reason Friday was tolerable
PatchWord was born in Slack channels, where the only rule was "it's Friday. Instead of working, let's murder the English language." If that's your people, here's everything you need to run it — no app to install, no IT ticket, no cost.
1. Grab today's crime
One click copies today's prompt, formatted for Slack. Paste it into your channel and you're the host.
Click the button and today's prompt appears here.
2. Run it in the thread
- Post it in your channel. Friday mornings are the proven slot — people would rather do this than work, but only just.
- Everyone replies in the thread with their portmanteau (one word from each category, mashed).
- React to vote — thumbs, cry-laughs, whatever. Most reactions by end of day takes the verdict.
- Crown the winner and bask in being the sole reason the week ended on a laugh.
Want it to stick around?
Running it in-thread is great and totally untracked. But if you'd like scores, streaks, and a daily verdict that persists — and everyone keeping one identity — spin up a private room at patchword.app and drop the invite link into Slack instead. Same crime, permanent record — with custom prompts for your team coming soon.
