Letterly

About Letterly

Letterly takes the party game of naming things by letter and turns it into one shared round a day. The page shows the date and the day's ten categories, such as Tropical fruit, Bird, Dessert, Thing in a gym and Asian country, while the letter itself stays hidden behind a question mark until you press start.

Once the letter appears you have ninety seconds to type an answer for each category. Each one must start with the day's letter and really belong to the category; proper names, brands and genuine alternative spellings count. Answers are compared with everyone else's that day, so a common answer scores less than an uncommon or unique one. Getting all ten valid is a clean sheet, which earns a bonus, and submitting early adds a speed bonus of up to 15 percent.

The result comes as a row of ten coloured squares showing how unique each answer was, with your score and streak, and you can challenge a friend to the same round. Private leagues with a six-character code let a group compare scores, and an archive keeps past rounds. A new round starts at midnight UTC.

It suits players who like Scattergories or fast word lists and enjoy hunting for the answer nobody else will give.

How to play Letterly

1. Read the day's ten categories on the play screen.
2. Press start to reveal the letter and begin the ninety second clock.
3. Type an answer starting with the letter for as many categories as you can.
4. Submit before time runs out; leftover seconds add a small bonus.
5. See how unique each answer was and share your squares.

Tips

• Skip the obvious answer when you can think of a second one: fewer players will have it.
• Read all ten categories before you start, since the letter is the only thing hidden.
• Fill every category with something valid first, then go back for rarer answers if time allows; a clean sheet earns a bonus.
• Proper names and brands count when they truly fit the category.
