In this minimalist game, you're given a few rows of words, some letters in common. Guess the letters. If you run out of guesses, or even before, you can buy another guess, but the cost is a new word to solve. This will have some letters in common with the words there before, which might help you... or might be an extra pain. Solve that word? Congratulations! Your next word will be one letter longer. Earn your way to the largest word in the English language. This game is released absolutely free, no ads, no data collection. It was fun for me, so I hope it's fun for you.
