Words mission
Rhymes, roots and things that read backwards. Words is one of the themed missions in OnlyClick: 50 stages and 250 questions, with 14,586 accepted answers. It plays with spelling, rhymes and word roots, so it is the mission where what a word looks like matters more than what it means.
The route runs from “Warm-Up Words” to “The Last Chapter”. The first stages are free to fly, and later stages come with the full mission. Rarer answers fly you farther, and it takes enough thrust to clear each stage.
