🎯 HOW TO PLAY: BRAIN SNIPER

Welcome to the Arena. Precision is your only protection.

1. THE OBJECTIVE

Deduce the hidden 5-letter word before your opponents and before the 90-second timer expires.

2. THE FORMATS

• Standard Arena: 2–6 players compete across 18 words. The highest total score after Stage 3 wins.
• 1v1 Duel Mode: A head-to-head "Best of 5" battle. The first Sniper to solve 3 words wins the match.

3. THE 3-STAGE LADDER

• Stage 1 (3 Words): The Warm-up. High-speed solving.
• Stage 2 (6 Words): The Tactical Shift. Look for rare letters (Q, X, Y, Z) for massive point bonuses.
• Stage 3 (9 Words): THE KILL ZONE.
  • Vowel Tax: Every vowel (A, E, I, O, U) costs -25 points. The letter "Y" costs -50 points.
  • Miss Bonus: Solving with zero misses yields the highest rewards. Reckless guessing will lead to point debt.

4. SUPERPOWERS

Collecting specific letters in Stages 1 and 2 triggers the Black Lion or Brain Sniper powers:

• Instant Reward: +250 points immediately.
• The Multiplier: Doubles your lowest-scoring word in Stage 3.

5. THE SNIPER CODE

• 6-Guess Limit: In 1v1 Duels, you have exactly 6 shots. Make them count.
• The Vowel Tax is Absolute: In Stage 3, information has a price. Spend your points wisely.
• AMP Rating: Your performance is being tracked. Every win and loss adjusts your hidden AMP (Alicia Marie Phidd) Rating.
