How to Play
keyboard_arrow_down
1. A color word appears at the top — its text is drawn in a different color to what it says.
2. Tap the swatch below that matches the ink color of the word — ignore what the word says.
3. Each correct tap scores points and builds your streak. Wrong taps lose points and shave 1.5 s from the clock.
4. Keep your streak alive — every 3 correct in a row adds +2 bonus points per tap on top of the base +10.

Expert Tips
See, don't read: Shift focus from the letters to the visual hue — treat the word as a colored shape, not text.
Use the labels: Each swatch shows its own name — match the ink color to the swatch label, not its background.
Accuracy first: A wrong tap costs points and time. It's almost always faster to think one extra beat than to recover from a mistake.
