Get 5 random words — a character, job, place, thing, and one bonus word — and just start writing.

Use the words in any order, in any kind of story. Seventy words earns points; a hundred earns a bonus.
Come back tomorrow and do it again with five new words. Streaks build, points add up, and the blank page stops being scary.

It's built for kids with learning differences like dyslexia who find writing intimidating — but it works just as well for any kid, or adult, who wants writing to feel less like a chore. There's no minimum or maximum age.
