A passive creature-raising companion that lives in your browser. Browse normally. Every page you visit, one word is chosen match it, earn EXP, watch your beast evolve.
HOW IT WORKS
Choose Your Egg
On first install, pick one of 12 eggs. Each hatches into a unique creature with its own name, elemental type, and visual identity.
Browse Normally
Every page you visit, one word is secretly selected from 370,000 possibilities. If that word appears on the page you're reading your creature earns EXP.
Watch It Evolve
Every 5 levels your creature transforms. A small notification appears in the corner then fades. No interruptions. Just growth.
This is all you'll ever see. A quiet notification in the bottom-right corner of whatever page you're on. It disappears after 2 seconds. Then back to your reading.
Evolution
Every creature passes through four stages. Each stage brings a new visual form larger, more defined, more powerful. Level slowly, or read voraciously.
Level Formula
100 EXP per level · 10 EXP per word match · one word checked per page visit

FAQ
Does it slow down my browser?
+No. The text scan runs once per page load using a TreeWalker, and dictionary lookups are O(1) via a JavaScript Set. The impact on performance is negligible.
Does it read my passwords or private data?
+Never. WordBeasts only reads visible page text the same text you can see on screen. It ignores form inputs, password fields, and anything hidden by CSS. No data leaves your browser.
How does the word matching work?
+Each time you visit a page, one word is randomly selected from our 370,000-word dictionary. If that word appears anywhere in the visible text of the page you're reading, your creature earns +10 EXP.
Can I have multiple creatures?
+Currently one creature per install. Choose wisely or release your companion and start fresh with a new egg at any time.
Does my progress sync across devices?
+Progress is stored locally in chrome.storage.local. Cross-device sync is planned for a future update.
What happens at max evolution?
+Your creature reaches Stage IV at level 15 and continues accumulating EXP. Total EXP tracking is ongoing further content for high-level companions is in development.
