DepthWord

One word. Forty-five seconds. Five links.

Each word must start with the last letter (or letters) of the one before. Type five into the boxes.

• Letters 1 to 5 are worth 1 point each, letter 6 is worth 2, letter 7 is worth 3, and every letter from 8 on is worth 4. An 8-letter word scores 14.
• Overlap bonus: start with the last 2 letters of the previous word for ×1.2, the last 3 for ×1.3, 4 for ×1.4, 5 for ×1.5. Try sun → under.
• Stairway bonus: make each of your five words longer than the one before for +25 points.
• Finish all five and every second left is worth 2 points.

You get one ranked round a day. Your score stays secret until the clock stops.
