How a round works
- Pick a difficulty
Easy, Medium or Hard. Harder words are worth more: ×1.0, ×1.4 and ×1.8.
- Answer 20 words
Each word shows four meanings. Pick the right one as fast as you can. A miss adds 3 seconds to your time but does not end the round.
- Check your rank
Your score and time go on the global board and your country’s board. Words you missed are listed so you can review them.

Monthly ranking
How points are scored
Every correct answer multiplies the factors below. A wrong answer scores nothing and resets your combo.
| Factor | Points |
|---|---|
| Base | 100 for every correct answer |
| Speed | Up to +100. The bonus shrinks to 0 at 3 seconds |
| Combo | 3 in a row ×1.5, 6 ×2, 10 ×2.5, 15 ×3 |
| Difficulty | Easy ×1.0, Medium ×1.4, Hard ×1.8 |
| Final rush | Questions 16 to 20 ×1.2 |
Equal scores are ranked by total time (faster first), then by who finished first.
A long streak matters more than anything else. Twenty correct answers on Hard at about 3 seconds each is worth roughly 8,600 points.
Which words come up
The words come from the vocabulary that appears most often in Digital SAT reading passages. Easy uses common academic words, Medium the words that show up in most tests, and Hard the rarer words behind the toughest Words in Context questions.
