Countdown

Ten letters. Thirty seconds. Best word wins.

Inspired by the letters round of the TV show. Ten random letters are dealt face-up; you have a thinking window to spot the longest word you can build from them, then a typing window to lock it in.

Words are scored by length. Best of three or five rounds. Pair it with a coffee, a commute, or a lunch break.

How it works

  4. 04

    Longest valid word wins the round
