Missing Letters Word Game
Fill in the missing letters before the clock runs out. Words get longer and lose more letters as you go. You have two minutes — how high can you score?

How to play
- Each round shows a word with blanks — type the missing letters.
- Any valid English word that fits the revealed letters counts, not just the original.
- Solve a word to score; longer words with more blanks are worth more.
- It ramps up: more letters and more blanks as you go.
- When time runs out, add your first name to join the high scores.
Tips for a higher score
The quickest way up the table is to read the letters you already have as the start, middle and end of a word, then test the gaps. A blank between two consonants is almost always a vowel; a blank at the end is often s, e, d or y. Common pairs like th, ch, sh and ng fill a lot of holes.
Because any valid word that fits counts, you do not have to find the original. If c_a_ will not come to you as coat, try chat, clap or coal instead. Longer words with more blanks are worth more, so once the rounds get harder the points climb fast — keep solving rather than skipping.
Practice, not just play
Filling missing letters uses the same skill as spelling and phonics work: holding a word's shape in mind and matching letter patterns to sounds. It is a fast warm-up for Scrabble or Wordle, and a painless way for younger players to build vocabulary. Prefer no clock? The daily challenge uses the same missing-letter format at a relaxed pace.
