I've only done it a few times, but I'm hooked.

For those that don't like to click on random links, it's a game which gives you a definition of a word and the first letter it starts with. You then guess the word. The clock counts down from 60 seconds, and each word you guess correctly gives you +5 seconds. You can skip a word if you can't get it.

Very addicting. Only problem is, it repeats words in the same game.  It gave me two "machete" within five of each other.

EDIT: Now it did two "Japan" in a row.  On the plus side, i just got 105 words right in one game.

Wow, that's impressive.  I just got 44 words (890 points) on my 3rd try.

That many words, or that many in a streak? Part of the way I got so many was I used skip when I didn't know it - but that kills your streak.

What mode are you playing on? Hard mode throws in some pretty crazy words.

My cousin once had "schadenfreude" as a word. I didn't even know that was a word...

I stopped playing after it insisted Chanukah was spelled "Hanukkah."

Yeah, at least the standard mode I played had way too many repeats and I ended up giving up after a 150+ streak and over 9500 points, 719 seconds left. Perhaps US Hard will be more fun.

EDIT: Yes, hard was much more enjoyable, and I stopped much much earlier.
