Letter Relay
One alphabet. Every word starts where the last one ended. Spent letters stay spent.
[ THE_BOARD ]
// your keyboard is the battlefield. spent starting letters burn out as you go.
Illustration: an on-screen keyboard from the game. Some keys are red, meaning that starting letter has already been spent; one key is blue, meaning the next word must start with it.

ENTER[ HOW_TO_PLAY ]
rule_01 — write a word. any word.
rule_02 — your next word must begin with the last letter of the previous one.
rule_03 — no two words may begin with the same letter.
goal — use as much of the alphabet as you can before you run out of moves.
// scoring
Score = (t / n)L
t = 26 · n = letters remaining · L = word length
longer words, later in the run, score
exponentially more.
[ GAME_MODES ]
CLASSIC
no clock. just you, one alphabet, and a slowly closing door.
FIXED_LENGTH
every word must be exactly five letters. simple rule, cruel consequences.
SPEED — with combos
5–10 minutes on the clock, your call. rare words and long chains feed the multiplier.
