Categories
One answer per category, all starting with the same letter.
What you are trying to do
Fill every category with a valid answer beginning with the round letter, with extra value for answers nobody else used.
Read the prompt
One letter and several categories are shared by the entire table.
Fill the sheet
Enter one answer per category before time expires. Reviewed category banks decide validity.
Compare answers
Shared valid answers score one; unique answers score three, with a small bonus for a reviewed multi-word answer.
Complete rules for Categories
These are the disclosed rules used by the room—not a simplified summary that changes once the match begins.
- 01
Each round shows a random letter and a few categories.
- 02
Type an answer in each category that starts with that letter.
- 03
A shared valid answer scores 1 point. A unique answer scores 3, plus 1 when the reviewed answer itself is multi-word.
- 04
Answers are checked against category-specific reviewed lists. A plausible-looking word is never accepted by shape alone.
- 05
Highest score when time runs out wins the round. First to the target round wins takes the match.

Three useful habits
Fill your easiest categories first so no row is left blank.
Prefer specific answers over the first obvious word everyone will share.
Correct spelling matters because the server compares normalized, reviewed answers.
