Games

A question is displayed word by word. In the middle of the question, a player may "buzz-in", which is a 3 second period to input the answer correctly where no other players can "buzz-in". If the player answers the question correctly, a point is added to the scoreboard and a new question is commenced.

Ratings & Stats

Players who have the most points by the end of the game win the match. Games played, questions answered correctly, and games won are all kept track of and displayed on the user's profile and on the leaderboards
