How a turn works

Simple to learn. Hard to master when the clock is ticking.

1

A word appears

Every game starts with a random word of 3 to 5 letters. Or pick a fixed length to make it harder.

2

Change one letter

You have 15 seconds to swap a single letter and make a new real word nobody has played yet.

3

Three misses and you're out

Miss three times, or let the clock run out, and you're eliminated. Points go to your stats; survival wins the game.
