Hypergoatdown is a Countdown variant that is played on Apterous, which is a combination of Hyper and Goatdown.
Letters rounds
The picking player chooses 11 letters as normal, but then can decide exactly which letter to have in the final slot. This can be chosen with the keyboard or by clicking the letter in the interface. The player is given 6 seconds to make this decision. As with Hyper, players will score a whopping 24 points for a maximum 12-letter word!
Numbers rounds
Numbers rounds are unchanged from Hyper.
Conundrums
Conundrums have 12-letter answers, but only 11 letters are shown. Only one 12-letter word can be made by adding an extra letter to these 11, and this is the required answer. After the standard time is up (e.g. 30 seconds), the missing letter is revealed and an extra half-time (e.g. 15 seconds) is added. However, solving the conundrum during this extra time is only worth 7 points.
Example game
(Based extremely loosely on Episode 5654)
