Play Letter Rush

One letter, one clock: name, city, animal... if nobody else thought of it, the points are all yours.

How many players

Played by 1 or 2: solo against the computer, or online against another player.

Online: create a room and send the link to a friend, or get matched with a random opponent. If nobody shows up, we offer a clearly labeled computer opponent.

Goal: Write one word for every category starting with the round’s letter. After 5 rounds, the highest total wins.

Each round reveals a letter. You get 60 seconds to fill every category with a word starting with it.
Filled them all? Hit "Done!" and your opponent has at most 10 seconds left.
When time runs out, both sets of answers are revealed side by side and scored.
Tap "Next round" to move on. After 5 rounds, the higher total wins.

Points per category: 20 if only you have a valid answer, 10 each if you both have different valid answers, 5 each if you wrote the same thing.
Answers must start with the letter and be 2–24 letters long. Rude words don’t count.
In solo play, a word that isn’t on the category list but is a real English word gets half points (20→10, 10→5, 5→3); otherwise 0.
In solo play you pick the categories, at least 3: Name, City, Country, Animal, Plant, Object, Job, Food.
Spelling is forgiving: capitals, accents, hyphens and spaces don’t matter ("sea horse" = "seahorse").
Equal totals mean a draw.
The computer picks words from the lists. Easy is slow, leaves some categories empty and never hits "Done!". Medium and Hard are quicker and fill almost everything.

Fixed categories: Name, City, Animal, Plant, Object. 5 rounds, 60 seconds each.
A room plays in the language of whoever created it: rooms made on the English site use English words.
You can’t see your opponent’s answers until the round ends, only how many they’ve filled in.
Words that aren’t on our lists go to your opponent for a vote: Accept or Reject. No vote means it counts. If you both wrote the same unlisted word, it passes without a vote.
The review screen lasts 25 seconds if there’s something to vote on, 12 if not; it moves on early once you both tap continue.
If you lose connection the clock keeps running; if you’re not back within 60 seconds, your opponent wins. Both of you have to ask for a rematch.

A word nobody else thinks of is worth 20; the one everybody writes is worth 5.
An empty box is a guaranteed 0. Write whatever comes to mind, it might just count.

Loose Lips: Describe the word to your team, but don’t let a banned word slip out! Side by side, one phone.
