If the word doesn't exist, the value of those letters are deducted from the time. Don't make guesses or the time will run out quickly! If you are up for a real challenge, try the "5 Second Word" game mode where the timer is reset to 5 seconds every time you successfully make a word. This means you have 5 seconds to find the next word or it's Game Over. Compare your score with other players all over the world in the global leaderboard
