PLAYS SHORT FUSEShort Fuse is a speed word game with no lives: a 2:30 fuse burns in real time while you hunt the five-letter word in ten rows. Every gray letter burns three extra seconds, and mined letters burn fifteen at once.
The fuse starts at 2:30 and burns in real time — hesitation costs as surely as wrong letters. When it reaches 0:00, or you run out of rows, the word is lost.
No — the clock is your only life. Standard word-guess clues apply (green direct hit, yellow in-the-word, gray miss), but time is the only resource you spend.
Every gray letter burns three extra seconds. Three letters of the alphabet are mined: playing one burns fifteen seconds and destroys the row's clues. Flag suspected mines with right-click, or long-press on touch screens.
