How to play

  1. The bomb shows a letter chunk, like ING or TR.
  2. When it's your turn, type any real word containing those letters to pass the bomb on. No word can be used twice in a game.
  3. The fuse is secret. It could blow in a few seconds or hold for half a minute, and it only gets louder.
  4. If it goes off in your hands you lose a life. Use every letter on your tracker to win a life back. Last one standing wins.

Tips
