TRANSMISSION
Type the words as they fall. Miss five and the signal drops.
This one needs a physical keyboard. On a phone or tablet, pull it up on a laptop and the words are yours.
Controls · Just type, letters build the word at the prompt ·
a correct full word clears the matching falling word for points ·
Backspace fixes a typo · Enter or Space starts and restarts.
The play area only grabs keys while it is focused or hovered, so the rest of the
page types and scrolls normally. No keyboard? This game needs one.
