20 Words in 20 Seconds

20 Words in 20 Seconds is a rapid typing game. Enter words meeting criteria in 20 seconds, earning points based on correctness, length, and time remaining.

You have 20 seconds.

For each prompt, type an English word that meets the criteria above. Words that you have used for an earlier criteria cannot be used again later.

Your score is made up of three components:

• How many words correctly entered.
• The length of each word.
• The time left on the clock if 20 words have been entered.

For each word you enter, you will get points added to your score equal to the number of words you’ve already entered. On the eighth word, you get eight points. On the fourteenth, fourteen.

Additionally, you will get points equal to the number of letters in the word. For the first letter, you get one point. For the second, two. For every letter after that, an additional three.

For example, if the word “WASTES” was entered as the fifth word, it would score 20 points.

5 because it was the fifth word entered, and the remaining 15 based on the length of the word.

If you manage to enter 20 words, you will get 5 points for every tenth of a second left on the clock.
