Questions
Can I restart the 10 second timer quickly between rounds?
Yes. Press Reset and then Start, or use the keyboard: R resets and Space starts, so you can run round after round without reaching for the mouse.
Is ten seconds long enough for a game turn?
For snap answers like word association or naming a category item, ten seconds keeps the pace high. For anything that needs thinking, try the 30 second timer instead.
