Word scramble, as a team race
Word Scramble is a short, fast race. Every team gets its own jumbled word, types the answer, and gets the next one straight away - skipping costs nothing. Each solved word scores, and the team with the most when the clock runs out wins.

How a round works
- A scrambled word appears. The clock starts and every team gets its own jumbled word.
- Unscramble and type it. Solve it and you get the next one straight away. Stuck? Skip it - no penalty.
- Most words wins. Every word you solve is worth 10 before the clock runs out.

Questions
How long does a round take?
As long as the host sets in Setup - the default is a short round, so it fits between other games without dragging.
Can teams copy each other?
Every team works through its own words, so there is nothing to copy - the race is about how many each team solves.
