How to Play

90 seconds on the clock.
Carousel: you lose 1 point for every second on the clock, up to 90. Quit early and the clock stops when you quit. Scores never go below zero.
Every word must include the center letter.
Minimum four letters. Every word scores 50 points, whatever its length.
Use all seven letters in one word (pangram) for a 50 point bonus, 100 points in all.
Hints are unlimited, and each one costs a flat 20 points. The word a hint unlocks is still worth the full 50.
Duels use the same flat hint price, so both players pay the same.
Shuffle rearranges the ring; Delete removes the last letter; Enter submits.
Daily mode: a new puzzle every day.

Each word = 50 pts. Pangrams add +50. Each hint costs a flat 20 pts. Center letter required.

The higher score wins. A tied score goes to the faster finish. Same score and same time: both stakes are refunded.

A daily tournament entry is $0.50.

Stakes are $0.60, $1.20, $3.00, $6.00, $15.00, and both players put up the same amount.
