Sixty seconds. One letter. Go.

Play

You will be served a letter. Type as many valid English words (three letters or more) that begin with it as you can before the clock runs out — and before your opponent reaches the target.

How to play

Each round serves you a single letter. Type any valid English word of three letters or more that begins with that letter, then press Enter. Every new, valid word counts once toward your target. Repeats and non-words are rejected — with a reason — so you lose nothing but a second of thinking.

The opponent

In Adventure, a cosmetic opponent races you to the same target. It is not reading your words; it simply works at a steady pace that gets quicker as the levels climb. Beat it to the target — and the clock — to advance, and each level raises the number of words you need by one.

In 1v1 Live, your opponent is a real person. You both get the same letters at the same time, with sixty seconds a round; whoever finds more valid words wins the round, and the best of three rounds takes the match. Create a room, share the link, and challenge any friend.

A few tactics

  • Lead with short words. Three-letter words score the same as long ones and arrive far faster.
  • Do not pause to admire a clever word. Speed of typing beats length every time.
  • Common letters reward broad vocabulary; rarer ones reward a few well-chosen anchors.
