Choose five minutes when you want more time to search for less obvious words. Every different answer counts equally, so longer words are optional. Start only when you are ready: the letters appear when the clock begins.
Make words of at least three letters, include the centre letter, and use each tile once per word. Tap letters or type; valid words submit after a short pause, or press Enter to check immediately. Duplicate words do not count. Each accepted word gets a brief confirmation while the wheel and input stay ready. Read definitions from your collection whenever you choose, including after the game. There are no clues in timed play.
The clock keeps running through animations, dialogs, reloads and background tabs. No animation adds a waiting period before your next word. In the last ten seconds, one rising beep per second marks the remaining time when sound is on. The shared seven-letter board changes at midnight UTC; all three durations use the same daily letters.
The 5-minute leaderboard has daily and all-time views. It compares your best completed game by word count, with shared ranks for ties. Results from two, three and five minutes are kept separate. An optional public profile and connection are needed for ranked games; the server must receive each valid word before its deadline. Device-only games stay local, and ordinary journey and daily points are unaffected.
After finishing, create a protected challenge or a portrait result image. A friend gets your exact wheel, your word-count target and a fresh 5-minute clock. Friend challenges stay separate from public rankings. A connection is needed to create a protected link; device-only results are labeled timing-unverified.
