Random order

Answer the highlighted rows one at a time in random order. Naming another row's real answer forfeits this one; anything else is free. Get a perfect Hard run with this on to earn a ★ on your medal.

Sudden death

A committed wrong answer ends the whole run, not just that one. Nothing commits until you press Enter, and an unfinished word or a typo never counts against you. Get a perfect Hard run with this on to earn a † on your medal.
