Build words from a clock face of letters while a sweeping hand steals one tile every couple of seconds.
Was this fun?
How to play
Letters sit in twelve slots around a clock face, and a hand sweeps steadily around the ring. Spell words from the letters that are present right now, bank them for points, and reach the target score before the sweeps run out.
Words must be 3+ letters and use only tiles currently on the ring.
A valid word banks points and spends its letters, which refill from the pool.
Each sweep removes the letter the hand lands on, then refills that slot.
Hit the target score before the maximum number of sweeps to break the siege.
Controls
Desktop: click hour-tiles to build a word (or type letters on the keyboard), Enter to submit, Backspace to undo a tile, Esc to clear. Buttons cover Back, Clear, Hint and Pause.
Phone & tablet: tap the tiles to build words and tap Enter; a physical keyboard or mouse is recommended for the fastest play.
Tips & strategy
Cash in longer words first, they score more and free up slots before the hand reaches them.
Watch the slot the hand is about to sweep and grab that letter before it disappears.
Use the Hint button when stuck; it nudges you toward a word length that exists on the ring.
