Countdown (Letters & Numbers)

The British TV classic — make the longest word from nine random letters, or hit a target number.

Countdown is a long-running British television game show (Channel 4, since 1982) and one of the most intellectually demanding mainstream word games. The Letters Round asks contestants to make the longest possible word from nine randomly selected consonants and vowels in 30 seconds. The Numbers Round asks contestants to reach a target three-digit number using six randomly chosen numbers and basic arithmetic in 30 seconds. The same format is used as a pub quiz game and a competitive puzzle.

Letters round rules

One contestant selects nine letters by alternately choosing vowels and consonants. Most competitive players request 3–5 vowels and 4–6 consonants.
Players write down the longest word they can form using only those letters (each used at most once).
Only the player with the longest valid word scores — length in points (e.g. 8-letter word = 8 points). A 9-letter word using all letters scores 18 points.
Dictionary adjudicator rules on contested words.

Strategy tips

Most competitive players aim for the 4-5 vowel, 4-5 consonant split — avoiding vowel-heavy boards (hard to build long words) or consonant-heavy ones (can't connect clusters).
Scan for common endings first: -TION, -ING, -NESS, -MENT, -LESS. Working backwards from endings is faster than building from the start.
Know your 9-letter words — CERTAINLY, IMPORTANT, ESTABLISH, MOUNTAINS are examples that can appear from common letter selections. Competitive players study these.
Our Unscramble tool is ideal for practising Countdown — paste in your nine letters and see the longest word possible, then study why it works.
