How to play Category Blitz
Name something that fits the category and starts with the letter — unique answers score most.
Racing the clock while guessing what everyone else will type turns a simple word game into a quiet battle to be the one nobody else thought of.
- Type your answer and submit before the timer runs out
- Everyone's answers stay hidden until the round reveal
💡 A common answer only scores half — a clever, unique one scores double.
💡 Think of a second-tier answer as backup before typing, since the most obvious first answer is usually what everyone else submits too.
