Phones run WordWave well, but mobile OS multitasking introduces jank. These tweaks help competitive thumb typists.
Close background tabs
Each heavy tab competes for CPU. Safari and Chrome both throttle background timers; a clean window keeps requestAnimationFrame smooth.
Disable ultra power saver
Aggressive battery modes cap JavaScript timers and network polling frequency. Plug in for tournament finals.
External keyboard
Bluetooth keyboards turn phones into mini laptops. Pair before the lobby fills to avoid Bluetooth setup during ready check.
Network selection
5 GHz Wi-Fi or wired tether often beats crowded 2.4 GHz. Run a speed test unrelated to the game; if upload spikes lag, pause cloud backups.
Screen zoom
Ensure browser zoom is 100 percent so the mask aligns with tap targets. System font scaling extremes can misalign custom layouts.
Cooling
Extended sessions heat thin phones; thermal throttling slows input. A desk fan helps more than you expect.
