## Description
You know that game you pull out of the box and, within two minutes, everyone is shouting and trying to remember if 'house' is spelled with an 'S' or a 'Z'? Well, that's TR3S! The challenge seems simpler than it looks, but the time pressure will get your heart racing. The goal is to write six different words, and the catch is that each one must include the three letters shown in the 3x3 grid. You only have 2 minutes to do it before time runs out and the chaos begins! The grid is set up with 9 randomly drawn letters, and you need to find combinations in both rows and columns. If you're a word master and manage to complete all six before the timer hits zero, you grab the totem! But watch out: the totem is a double-edged sword. If all your words are correct and in the right order, you get a +3 point bonus. If you mess up, you take a -3 point hit. The game is played over three rounds, consisting of letter placement, writing, and scoring phases. Scoring is quite dynamic: you earn points based on how well the letters fit the order and if you were fast enough that another player wrote the exact same word (which grants an extra bonus!). It's a game of mental agility, perfect for gathering friends, testing your vocabulary, and having a laugh at everyone's spelling mistakes. With solo modes and different difficulty levels, TR3S ensures no one is left out of the fun, whether you're a word game enthusiast or just looking for a quick filler between bigger sessions.
