Timed is Freehand's daily time estimation game. You are given an interval such as 4.3 seconds, press and hold, and the screen goes dark with nothing to count by; you let go when you think the time is up. Five intervals a day, scored in proportion to how close each hold came.
About Timed (Freehand)
Timed asks you to feel a duration rather than measure it. Each round names an interval, never a whole number of seconds, such as 4.3. You press and hold, the screen goes dark, and there is no clock, counter or anything moving at a steady rate to help. You let go when you think the interval has passed.
Counting in your head is allowed, but because the targets fall between whole seconds it never gets you all the way there. Each hold is scored in proportion to the interval asked for, so a long interval is no harder to score well on than a short one. A row of five markers at the top shows which round you are on, and the day's score runs out of 50.
There are five intervals a day, one hold each, the same five for everyone. Timed is one of six free daily estimation games on Freehand, beside Angled, Halved, Dropped, Balanced and Counted. The site has a scores page, needs no account and shows no ads.
It suits anyone who wants a minute-long daily test that needs no knowledge at all, only a sense of how long a few seconds feel.
How to play Timed (Freehand)
- Open Timed and read the interval you are asked for, for example 4.3 seconds.
- Press and hold: the screen goes dark.
- Let go when you think the interval is up.
- Repeat for the day's five intervals and see how close each hold came.
Tips
- Settle on a steady inner rhythm before you press, rather than starting to count after.
- The targets are fractions of a second past a whole number: plan to hold a little past your last count.
- Keep your breathing even while the screen is dark: rushing or holding your breath tends to throw the count off.
Questions
How many rounds does Timed have each day?
Five intervals, one hold each, the same five for everyone.
Is Timed free?
Yes. It is free in the browser with no account needed.
Can I count in my head?
Yes, counting is allowed, but the targets fall between whole seconds, so you still have to judge the last part by feel.
How is a day scored?
Each hold is scored on how close it came to the interval, in proportion to its length, and the five rounds add up to a score out of 50.

The day's five intervals follow the date on your own device, so a new set is there from midnight where you are.
Does Timed have ads?
No. The page carries no ad scripts or ad slots; Freehand is supported through Ko-fi donations.
