Ten scrambled words stand between you and your high score. It's basically a crossword for people who don't have the attention span for an actual crossword.
Unscrambling letters back into a real word is a small but well-studied exercise in pattern recognition — your brain is testing candidate letter combinations against its internal vocabulary store far faster than you're consciously aware of, which is why a word can suddenly click into place after several seconds of nothing. It's a slightly different skill from a crossword (no general knowledge required, just raw lexical recall under time pressure) and a slightly different one from Scrabble (no strategy, just speed). Ten scrambles, the clock running, is a quick way to find out how fast that part of your brain is firing today.
Each round shows a jumbled set of letters. Type the correctly spelled word before time runs out and move to the next scramble.
Up to 990 points across ten words, with a speed bonus for quick solves. Slower, correct answers still score — just less.
Reads as 'vocabulary building' from across the room, functions as a five-minute escape from your inbox.
A mix — some are gimmes, a few will make you question your degree.
No built-in dictionary, but if you're confident it's a real word and the game disagrees, trust the game.
Each correct word is worth up to 100 points, and the number drops steadily over your 7 seconds. A wrong answer or a timeout scores zero.
Ten words, with 7 seconds for each one. A solve in the first couple of seconds scores almost full marks.
