Synopsis

Countdown is a Channel 4 television show which continued into the 2010s, despite the death of original host Richard Whiteley in 2005. It is a word and number game show, and the original format of 6 letter games, 2 number games and a puzzle, is recreated here. There is no computer adversary, so 2 people are required.

In Round Letters, a selection of 9 letters is formed by alternately choosing a vowel or consonant, and players have 30 seconds to find the longest word available. The generated letter combinations are not always realistic with the show. As in Computer Scrabble, the full dictionary is not stored in memory, so the game will ask you if the words you enter are real. The longest word scores its length, with 18 points for a 9-letter word - both players score for words of equal length.
