Your goal is to type a new word that **shares a common sound chunk** with the previous word.
**Sound Chunk Rule:** The shared sound chunk must contain at least one vowel phoneme. That means a sound with a vowel and consonant, such as the "AP" sound in "NAPKIN." A consonant alone won't cut it: For example, "BIKER" won't work as the next word after "CATNAP," even though they share the "K" (or hard C) sound.
**Syllable Rule:** Your new word must have **at least 2 syllables**.
**No Repeats:** You cannot use the same word twice in one game.
You have limited time per turn!
It takes 10 successful plays to complete Level 1.
Each level takes 10 more plays, but you lose 5 seconds per word.
Try to get through all five levels - if you can.
After that you can play "forever mode" as long as you're able.
Base points for each correct word.
**Time Bonus:** Earn extra points for submitting words quickly.
**Syllable Bonus:** Get bonus points for longer words (more syllables).
**Sound Chunk bonus:** Get more points for words that share more sound chunks!
**Hints:** Cost 200 points each.
If you run out of time - although you can purchase a "Pause" for 100 points.
If your word does not share a valid sound with the previous word.
