A hidden sentence, revealed by the answers to its clues. The clock starts when you press start — not before.
Nintendo was founded in Kyoto in 1889, making hanafuda playing cards by hand, while electric light was still a novelty spreading city by city. It sold cards for another seventy years before it made a toy.
Two ways in. Type an answer from the list above and its letters appear in the sentence. Or type a word you can guess from the sentence itself — it fills in where it stands, and completes the answers those letters belong to. Every letter of the sentence belongs to exactly one answer, and the small number on a tile is its position in the sentence. Hover a clue to see which tiles it owns.
