How a round plays

Thirty seconds. One word. Rare letters carry the score.

01

Letters drop

Four to six tiles land scrambled, tagged with a category and a one-line hint in plain Naija.

02

Build before the buzzer

Tap tiles into the rack to spell the word. Wrong guess? Clear a tile and keep going — the clock does not stop.

03

Score the letters

Each tile carries its Scrabble value. J, Q and Z are worth 8–10, so the hard words pay the most. Time left is a bonus.

Today’s word

One shared puzzle a day. Everybody gets the same tiles.

One word, one category, the same for everyone. Solve it in one go for the streak. Miss a day and the streak resets to zero — no mercy.
