Game Instructions
The object of this game is to prevent the rising column of words from reaching the top by typing them as fast as you can.
Once you have typed a word, hit the space bar or enter key to submit it. Also, use space/enter to clear any mistake you make, as the delete key will not work.
Each level consists of 20 words. You must eliminate them all before the stack hits the top in order to proceed to the next level; otherwise your game is over.
The levels move in sets of 3. Within a set, length of the words remains the same while their rising speed increases. After each set, the word length goes up one and the speed resets.
