📏 How does the Long Answers event work?

In Long Answers, size matters: the longer the answer, the more it pays. Short words keep you in the game — the long ones win it.

How a match works

• A match has 3 rounds.

• You and your opponent see the same question and answer simultaneously until the timer ends (currently 30 seconds).

• The higher round score wins the round; a 2-round lead ends the match early.

Scoring

• Each correct answer is worth 2 points per letter, currently with a floor of 10 and a cap of 80 points.

• No streak multiplier and no penalty for wrong answers.

• Answers are first-come-first-served — and everyone wants the long ones, so the race is real.

Power-ups

• Joker — available by default and works as usual.

• Change Question — available by default before the round starts.

• Time Extend — unavailable in timed rounds.

Tips

• Fire your longest answers first — they're worth the most, and your opponent is hunting them too.

• Don't snub the short stuff: every answer pays at least 10 points, and it adds up.

• Guessing is free — when you're stuck, take a shot. A wrong guess costs nothing but a moment.

A maxed-out long answer pays 80 points — eight times the minimum. Scan your memory for the longest thing that fits.
