Guess the secret word
Take turns guessing. Each guess gets a rank for how close it is in meaning: #1 is the word itself. Repeats and unknown words don't use up your turn.
Points
Guesses in the top 300 score, and the closer the better.

Big leaps
Jump well past the best guess so far and you earn extra points. The bigger the jump, the bigger the bonus.
The pot
Misses and passes add 1 to the pot. The next guess that beats the best takes it all, however far off it is. It carries over between games, but nothing adds to it in the first two rounds of each game.
Hints
A hint shows only you a word closer than the best so far. It costs your turn and part of the pot (at least 6). Hold the screen to see it.
Way off
A guess ranked over 20 times worse than the best, and past #10,000, costs 1 point. That point goes into the pot.
Bonus round
Once the word is found, everyone gets 3 more guesses to name its 20 closest words, for a few extra points each.

Shows the answer, then deals a new word. Keep the scores or start fresh.
