Tips for a better score
- Clear the lowest word first, even when a longer one catches your eye higher up. Letters count towards any word that starts with what you've typed.
- Each word pays ten points a letter, doubled from your fifth word in a streak, tripled from the tenth and quadrupled from the fifteenth, so long words pay most.
- A wrong letter is never typed, but it still resets your streak to zero, so once the multiplier is building, accuracy matters more than raw speed.
- Letter keys never pause the game here, so type freely and use Esc to pause. Caps Lock won't trip you up, because every letter counts as lower case.
