Character Limit
12 Letters, No Mercy. A fast-paced typing word game. Build words before your rack overflows. How long can you last before you hit your Character Limit?
Character Limit is a fast-paced word puzzle game that blends arcade speed and time pressure with wordplay.
12 Letters. No Mercy.
How many words until you reach your Character Limit?
Letters keep dropping. Time keeps ticking.
Quick thinking and quick typing are the only things standing between you and total linguistic collapse.
You’ve got twelve spaces - your Character Limit - and a never-ending supply of letters waiting to overwhelm you.
Form words to clear space, score points, and survive as long as possible in this fast-paced, arcade-style typing puzzle.
It’s simple… until it’s not.
Don’t Fill The Rack
That’s the golden rule.
Once every slot is full and the countdown ends, the game’s over, and it always sneaks up faster than you think.
Number Go Up
Every round is a battle against your own hesitation. Shorter words make space but score poorly. Longer words score higher, especially if you use a hard letter.
Do you gamble on a long word for a huge score, or play safe before the next letter drops?
There’s no right answer. Only speed, instinct, and a growing sense that maybe you don’t know English as well as you thought.
