⏰ The Timer Starts Itself
A new Host setting: the moment the last free letter is drawn, the writing timer can start right away, no more waiting for someone to press Start Timer.
A new option has appeared among the Host’s room settings, right below “Free Starting Letters”: “⏰ Instant Timer on Last Letter”. Turn it on and the writing round won’t wait for anyone anymore.
Normally, once all the free letters have been drawn, the game pauses until the current player presses “Start Timer” themselves. With this option on, the countdown starts on its own the moment the last letter lands on the board — even with “Turn-Based Drawing” active, no matter who drew it.
It’s off by default, so it won’t change the habits of anyone already playing the usual way: find it, flip it on whenever you like, and it shows up right alongside the room’s other rules for anyone about to join.
