I have the distinct feeling there’s a word often used when two people type the same thing at the same time in Internet chat contexts. Not necessarily exactly the same words, but closely related.
Maybe I’ve even come across it myself but forgotten it. All I can think of now is «Snap!», but that sounds a bit lame in this day and age (who plays cards nowadays, with all these video games?).

If it were spoken word, one would yell «Jinx!» (Alternately, «Jinx, buy me a coke!»)
And, according to the rules of the game when I grew up, be unable to speak until they purchased a Coke for the yeller. If they spoke prior to paying the fine, they were subjected to a hard punch in the upper arm.
As to its use in chat . . . Well, I think it could be applicable.

In radio comms this is ‘crosstalk’ and could apply to text as well. Crosstalk can mean several related things, but generally means interference between channels or between halves of a half-duplex channel.
The dictionary definition isn’t as specific as its use in radio jargon.

The word I think you’re looking for is simpatico (sometimes spelled sympatico). My friend and I experience this a lot when we are texting. As I am texting her a message and hitting the send button, I receive a nearly identical message from her. It’s an uncanny experience at times.

How to play Dordle
1
Dordle is very similar to Wordle, but with some differences. There are two words hidden in the game at once, and for each word there is a separate field of 6 lines. You need to enter your words to get hints.
2
Enter the first word consisting of the same number of letters as there are squares in one line (from 4 to 6 letters depending on the settings) and press the Enter button. The word will be entered in both the left and right fields at the same time.
3
Now in both fields the letters of the entered word will change their color, but most likely in different ways. This is because these colors are clues to the hidden word. Since the words are different, the clues are also different.
4
Green color means a correctly guessed letter. This letter is in the right place. Yellow color means that this letter is in the hidden word, but is in a different place or places. Gray color means that such a letter is not in the word.
5
Please note that for your convenience, the keyboard buttons also change their color independently for the left and right playing field. Keep typing words, get hints and find out both hidden words. Knowing just one is not enough to win.

- How to Open Two or Multiple Word Documents At the Same Time
“I find that I cannot open multiple Word documents at the same time on my Windows 7 computer. When more than one Word document is open, I only can see one in the Word window as well as on the Windows taskbar. The latter opened document always covers the previously opened one. I wonder how I can open two or multiple Word documents at the same time.”
To solve the above problem, simply do as follows.
Step 1: Open any Word document, and then click the File tab on the Word ribbon to bring up the backstage view.
Step 2: Click Options on the left side.
Step 3: After the Word Options dialog opens, select Advanced on the left-side pane, check the Show all windows in the Taskbar option under the Display section, and then click OK.
Now when you open another Word document, it will open in another window so that you can view them side by side.
-
On the View tab, click Arrange, and then click Split.
If the window is wide enough, Word displays Split directly on the View tab.
-
To adjust the relative sizes of the panes, move the mouse pointer to the dividing line, and when you see the split pointer, click and drag the dividing line to a new position.
Note: To remove the split in the window, drag the dividing line to the top or bottom edge of the window.
Tip: In addition to simultaneously viewing two different parts of the same document, you can also use the split window to display two different layouts, such as Print Layout and Outline. After creating the split, click in the pane that you want to change, and then select a different layout on the View tab.
-
On the View menu, click Draft, Web Layout, Outline, or Print Layout.
-
Rest the pointer on the split bar at the top of the vertical scroll bar until
