Three ways to play.

Every room picks a mode, a language and a timer. Start calm, end in a photo finish.

Classic Chain

The original last-letter game. Each entry must start with the last letter of the previous one. Run out of time and you are out; the last player standing earns a +20 survival bonus.

Turn based

Word Battle

Everyone answers the same letter challenge in the same round. Send one valid, unique answer before the timer ends; longer answers score more.

Everyone plays

Letter Hunt

Everyone gets the same 8, then 9, then 10 letter tiles. Find as many words as you can in three 45-second rounds. Long words are worth big points.
