Beat the clock is the mode for people who say "just one more" and mean it. Here's a full round, from the first tick to the confetti.
Spell any word of 3 letters or more and 3 seconds go back on the clock. Keep finding words and the round keeps going.
2 words earn your first star, 5 get you two, and 8 take all 3. The video ends on a nine-letter wheel, which is where things get spicy.
Pause on the nine-letter wheel. How many words can you find in ten seconds? Post your count in the YouTube comments.
