Guess the word. Each round is one clue for one hidden word. Type your answer — it submits itself when the last letter goes in.

Letters appear on their own. Every ten seconds the fuse under the tiles fills and another letter is revealed. The fewer letters you need, the better.

Beat the first reveal. Name the word before any letter shows to earn a star.

Wrong guesses are free. A miss just clears what you typed — the only cost is the ticking clock. You can never be locked out.

Ten rounds, easy to hard. If time runs out the answer is shown and you move on. Your result: words solved, stars earned, and how few letters you needed.
