How to Create and Win a Mooot Telegram League

One of the things that sets Mooot apart from other Wordle games is its built-in competitive league system. Instead of playing alone and sharing a coloured grid on Twitter, Mooot lets you compete directly against your friends with automatic daily and monthly leaderboards, virtual trophies, and a global ranking.

This guide covers everything: how to set up a league, how the scoring works, strategies to win, and how to make the most of all the competitive features.

What is a Mooot league?

A Mooot league is a private competition within a Telegram group chat. When you add the Mooot bot to a Telegram group, that group automatically becomes a league. Every day, when players share their Wordle result in the group, the bot reads the score and updates the group leaderboard automatically.

At the end of each month, the top players in two rankings — points (accuracy) and time (speed) — receive virtual trophies themed around that month's collection. Leagues are completely automatic: you don't need to manage anything, track anything manually, or remember to update a spreadsheet.

Setting up your first league: step by step

1. Create or open a Telegram group. You can use an existing group of friends or create a new one specifically for Mooot. The bot works in both private groups and public channels.
2. Add the Mooot bot. For English: add @mooot_en_bot. For Catalan: @mooot_cat_bot. For Spanish: @mooot_es_bot. You can do this by searching for the bot in Telegram or by clicking the "Add Mooot to a group" link on this page.
3. Grant admin permissions (optional but recommended). Giving the bot admin status allows it to pin messages and interact more fully with the group. It's not required, but it improves the experience.
4. Play and share. Play the daily Mooot game, then share your result in the group chat. The bot will automatically read the score grid and update the leaderboard.

How scoring works

The points system is straightforward and designed to reward accuracy:

• Guess in 1 attempt: 6 points
• Guess in 2 attempts: 5 points
• Guess in 3 attempts: 4 points
• Guess in 4 attempts: 3 points
• Guess in 5 attempts: 2 points
• Guess in 6 attempts: 1 point
• Fail to guess: 0 points

Over the course of a month (typically 30 or 31 days), the points accumulate into a monthly total. This means consistency matters as much as brilliance — a player who reliably gets 4 points per day (guessing in 3 attempts) will likely outscore someone who occasionally gets 6 but also sometimes fails.

The time ranking: speed matters too

Mooot has a second ranking based entirely on cumulative solve time. Every day, the time you take to complete the game is recorded (from opening the game to submitting your final guess). Your monthly total time is compared against other league members.

This ranking creates an interesting competitive dynamic: you can win the points ranking by being accurate, and a different player can win the time ranking by being fast. In case of a points tie, time is used as the tiebreaker.

The time ranking rewards players who have internalised common letter patterns and can generate valid guesses quickly. It also introduces a genuine risk/reward decision: do you spend time thinking through the perfect guess, or do you quickly try a reasonable word and iterate?

Strategy: how to win your league

Winning the points ranking

The points ranking is won by accuracy. Your goals are:

• Never fail to guess the word. A 0-point day is devastating — it's the equivalent of scoring 0 where you could have scored at least 1. Prioritise surviving over optimising.
• Consistently guess in 3 attempts. If you can average 3 guesses, you'll score 4 points per day — about 120 points per month. That's very competitive in most leagues.
• Use proven opening words. A good opening word (STARE, CRANE, RAISE) sets you up for a 3-guess solution more often than an intuitive one.
• Don't guess randomly under pressure. On guess 5 or 6, think carefully. A wrong guess loses you a point; a right one gives you 2. The math favours careful thought.

Winning the time ranking

Speed is different from accuracy. To win on time:

• Use a fixed two-word opener every day. This eliminates the time you spend choosing your first word — you always start with the same two words automatically.
• Don't overthink early guesses. The first 2–3 guesses are about gathering information. Don't pause to analyse; trust your opener and move on.
• Play at a consistent time each day. Your best mental performance (fastest recall, quickest word generation) is probably at a specific time of day. Find it and play then.
• Minimise app-switching during play. Every time you leave the game to look something up or get distracted, your time accumulates.

Bot commands your group should know

Once your league is running, these commands keep the competition active and engaging:

• /ranking — Shows the current monthly leaderboard for your group, both points and time rankings.
• /legend — Displays the points table and explains how scoring works. Useful for new members.
• /prizes — Shows the trophies earned by your group and by individual members.
• /top — The global Mooot leaderboard across all chats worldwide. See how your group compares globally.
• /help — Full list of commands and bot information.

Monthly trophies and collectibles

At the end of each month, the top 3 players in both the points ranking and the time ranking receive virtual trophies. These trophies are themed around that month's collectible postcard collection — in January 2026, for example, trophies were themed around Pyrenean wildlife (the "Below Zero League" collection).

Trophies are permanent and collectible. You can view all your trophies with the /prizes command. They carry the identity of each month's collection, making them unique seasonal items. A gold trophy from the Below Zero League will never exist again after January 2026 — it's a one-time collectible.

Players can be in multiple leagues simultaneously (across different Telegram groups), and trophies accumulate from all of them.

Keeping your league engaged

The biggest challenge for any Mooot league isn't strategy — it's maintaining regular participation. Here's what the most active leagues have in common:

• A WhatsApp/Telegram culture of sharing: Members who comment on each other's results, commiserate about hard days, and celebrate great scores.
• A regular "league update" message: Someone posts the /ranking result at the end of each week as a reminder and a chance to reflect on standings.
• Friendly trash talk: Healthy competition keeps people engaged. A well-placed joke about someone's 6-attempt day builds the social fabric.
• A mix of skill levels: The best leagues have both very strong players (who set a high bar) and newer players (who have more room to improve and feel the win when they do).

Can you be in multiple leagues?

Yes. You can add the Mooot bot to as many Telegram groups as you want, and your daily result will be applied to all of them. Each group has its own independent leaderboard and trophies. Playing in multiple leagues gives you more chances to win trophies and rank globally, but remember: each group's ranking is self-contained.

The global ranking

Beyond individual group leagues, Mooot maintains a global ranking across all chats. The /top command shows you how you compare to Mooot players worldwide. This adds a broader competitive context: your league is your primary competition, but you're also part of a global leaderboard that tracks cumulative performance across all time.
