- Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.
About this quiz
A game of judgement under uncertainty. With ten of the 26 letters in play, an M could belong in the fourth slot or the seventh; it depends on what is still to come.
- The first and last letter of the round are shown from the start.
- Once per round you may move a placed letter to an empty slot, or swap two.
- The score is the longest run of letters in correct order.
