I made this app which tests your vocabulary. You have to name a word for every letter of the current word, and the last word becomes your new word. It's in beta.

Time is also too short game ends because I occasionally choose to type a word with more than 6 characters

Also the keyboard in android covers the submit button so you have to exit the keyboard to submit and it times out.

I was on hard mode

Thanks that's very useful. It's currently at 5 seconds but maybe I should make it 10. On mobile versions I tried to add the "hit enter to submit" functionality but are you not finding that to be the case?

Changed it to 10s. Thanks for the feedback!

The word list is limited.

I got "umbrella" is not a valid word.

Thanks that is strange. I am using the array of english words library but maybe needs to be something better.
