Words with missing letters fall from the top. The lowest word is always the next target: fill in its letters before it touches the red line. Every word that gets away costs a life, and you have three. No advertising. No tracking. Plays fully offline. Any real word that fits the pattern counts, not only the one we had in mind. And a letter that cannot lead to any word is refused straight away, so you are never made to finish a word that was already wrong. Three hints per game reveal a letter when a word will not come. A world leaderboard ranks the top fifty. Pick a nickname to appear on it, or play without one.
