Can you find the missing letter? Complete the word as quickly as possible, build your combo and try to reach the top of today's leaderboard.
How to Play
1
A word appears with one letter missing, shown as a blank — for example A P P _ E.
2
Pick the correct letter from the 4 choices below the word, by tapping or pressing the matching key on your keyboard.
3
Answer fast for a speed bonus, and keep a streak going for a combo multiplier — 10 questions per round, difficulty rises as you go.
Rules
Each round has 10 words. Early words are short and simple; later words are longer and trickier. You get a few seconds per word — the faster and more accurate you are, the higher your score. Answering under 1 second earns a Perfect bonus, and a run of 5+ correct answers in a row builds a combo multiplier.
Tips & Tricks
Say the word out loud in your head as soon as you see it — most missing letters are easier to spot by sound than by staring at the blank. Don't overthink short words; trust your first instinct to keep your combo alive, since a broken streak costs more than one wrong guess.
