Your first climb, from prompt to points
Start with Classic if you want to learn without using today's Daily attempt. A climb contains seven prompts, and each one has a fresh 15-second answer window. The timer starts when the prompt appears; the game pauses on the feedback screen until you continue.
- Choose Classic, Daily, or Endless in the game, then begin your ascent.
- Read the prompt and type one answer. Press Enter or use the submit button.
- If the answer is on the board, the round ends and its tier awards points.
- If the game does not recognise your answer, try another before time runs out.
- Review the feedback, then move to the next prompt. After your climb, open each result to inspect its answer board.
Think familiar before you think clever
The goal is to predict the board's top answer, rather than produce the most unusual valid response. For a prompt about an everyday object, start with the object most people would picture quickly. A precise but uncommon example can be accepted and still score fewer points.
The answer board is fixed editorial data. It cannot judge every plausible answer or learn a new one from your submission. An unrecognised response means it was not matched to this edition's board, even when it makes sense in ordinary conversation.
What happens if an answer is rejected?
A rejected answer leaves the timer running so you can try again. Use a short, direct word or phrase, check spelling, and avoid adding an explanation. The game handles letter case and some spelling variants, but it is not a general language model and does not understand every synonym.
Submitting an accepted answer locks in its points immediately. You cannot replace a low-tier accepted answer with a better one for the same prompt. Passing or reaching zero seconds records a miss worth zero points.
Use the result board as your next practice session
At the end of a climb, expand a prompt to see its accepted answers grouped by tier. Compare your answer with the 100-point answer and look for a pattern: did you choose a niche example, add unnecessary detail, or miss the most immediate association?
