Words drift down from the top of the screen. Type a word and press nothing else: as soon as it matches, it vanishes and you score points. Longer words and higher levels score more. Every eight words the level goes up and the words fall faster and more often. If a word reaches the ground you lose one of your five lives. Choose Easy (short words), Normal or Hard (long words). It is a good way to practise quick, accurate typing of whole words.

Questions
How are points counted?
Each word scores 10 points for each letter, multiplied by the level you are on. A five-letter word at level 3 is worth 150 points.
Do I need to press Enter or Space?
No. The word disappears the moment your typing matches it. If you type a wrong word, press Space or Enter to clear the box and start again.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Tap the box under the game to bring up the keyboard. The game area gets taller on narrow screens so the words stay readable.
