Letterlantern is a PLYZ original typing game. Paper lanterns rise from the hills at night, each carrying a word. Start typing a word and the game picks the lantern it belongs to; finish it and the lantern lights up and sails away.
If a lantern reaches the top unlit you lose one of your five lights. As you go, words get longer, lanterns rise faster and more of them come at once, and a streak of clean words multiplies your points. At the end the game shows roughly how many words per minute you typed. The words come from the PLYZ word list of common, family-friendly words.

Tips for Letterlantern
