Apterous is a Countdown website maintained by Series 59 contestant Charlie Reams. It's the first site ever to allow players to play Countdown online using Java rather than by MSN Messenger.
Players log in and can play against other online players or the site robots ('bots'). The bots include 'Apterous Prune', 'Apterous Nude', 'Apterous Waldorf', 'Apterous Caesar', 'Apterous Plum', 'Apterous Velvet', 'Apterous Sponge', 'Apterous Prime' and 'Apterous Rex', each with their own skill level and other quirks. Players of Apterous are known as Apterites.
The site includes other forms of Countdown including Speed Countdown, Goatdown and Hypercountdown. The site automatically keeps count of a player's wins and losses, as well as the highest scores and highest ratings.
On 16 May 2013, the one-millionth game of Apterous was played; therein, Mark Deeks achieved a perfect score against the Apterous Nude bot.
