How a Thesaurus match works
- Seven rounds. The same seven Thesaurus questions for you and your opponent.
- Ten seconds each. A right answer in two seconds scores 20; at the buzzer, 11.
- The last round counts double. It’s never over until it’s over.
Your Thesaurus ranking is its own: climb it without your other topics dragging you down.
