🕒 DROP / TIME LIMIT

In these modes, letters fall faster as you progress.

🔹 Objective: Place letters and form words strategically.
🔹 Game Over Condition: If a letter cannot be placed at the top center, the game ends immediately!
🔹 The mastery bar: Marks the critical limit beyond which isolated letters can block level progression.

📈 How to Level Up?
- The DROP button validates words and removes their letters from the board, awarding points.
- The Level Up is triggered when:
    ✔️ The total number of letters used in words reaches the required threshold.
    ✔️ No isolated letter above the mastery bar blocks progression.
    ✔️ A letter above the bar can be counted if it belongs to a valid word containing at least one letter below the bar.

💡 If a letter is above the bar but does not form a word, the button remains in DROP mode and will not become LEVEL UP.

📌 How does the LEVEL UP button work?
✔️ When conditions are met, the DROP button turns into LEVEL UP.
✔️ Pressing it validates words, clears the letters, and increases the level.
✔️ Each new level increases the falling speed of letters, making the game progressively harder but also boosting the score multiplier!

🔄 Difference between DROP and TIME LIMIT:
🎮 DROP Mode: Play as long as you do not reach the Game Over condition.
⏳ TIME LIMIT Mode: The game ends when the 5, 10, or 15-minute timer reaches zero.
⏲️ If time runs out but a word is formed, an Auto-DROP may validate the last move before the game ends.

🎯 Plan your moves carefully to avoid blocked letters and maximize your level progression!

🔥 SURVIVAL

At the beginning of the game, you have access to all possible letters, including a joker.

How it works:

• 7 letters are drawn randomly from your available set.
• You must form at least one valid word to qualify for the next round.
• After validation, you must choose one letter from the words you created:
• ❌ That letter will be permanently removed from your available set.
• 🎯 The remaining letters, including the joker, will be used for the next draw.
• With each round, your score multiplier increases 📈.
• Goal: Survive as long as possible and achieve the highest score!

🧠 Strategy: Be mindful when choosing which letter to eliminate! A poor decision could quickly make the game much harder.

🚀 NO GRAVITY

Unlike other modes, there's no gravity here! The set of available letters remains the same throughout the game, but their order is shuffled at the beginning.

🔹 Objective: Strategically place your letters to maximize your score.
🔹 Game Over: The game ends when you have used all available letters.

💡 Plan ahead! Since the available letters never change, careful word placement is key to reaching the highest score.
