Clear each word before it hits the ground.

How to play

Type a falling word to clear it. In the air it scores double.
A word that lands stays as a brick. Type it to knock it out.
Backspace lets go of a word you started by mistake.
Esc pauses the game.

Clear the words before they land

Words fall down the screen in columns. Type a word to clear it. A word you miss lands and becomes a brick at the bottom of its column. You can still type a brick to knock it out, and the bricks above it drop down.

When any column is stacked up to the red line at the top, the game is over. Words cleared in the air score double. Every ten words is a new level with faster, longer words.

Skills practiced

  • Typing common words without stopping
  • Reading ahead while you type

Questions

How does the game end?
When one column of landed bricks reaches the red line at the top. Clear bricks to keep every column low.
Which word does my first letter pick?
Falling words come first, starting with the lowest one. A landed brick is picked only when no falling word starts with that letter.
Is there sound?
Yes, but it starts switched off. Press the speaker button in the game to turn it on.
