A hidden sentence, revealed by the answers to its clues. The clock starts when you press start — not before.
Sharks appear in the fossil record around 450 million years ago. The first trees came some sixty million years later — the oceans had predators long before the land had forests.
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.
