WORDDOWN
WORDDOWN is a word guessing game with a countdown twist. In this game, you drag letters onto a 5×5 grid to create 5 letter words, while racing against the coundown. As the timer counts down, the game fights back, new letters are revealed to help you, but tiles also become permanently blocked, forcing you to rethink your strategy every round. Every round is a puzzle. Find as many words as you can, keep your streak alive, and don't lose all three lives!
