The phrase that falls

A saying, a rule, a line from the book. Punctuation is dropped and the letters are laid out in capitals. A longer phrase makes a bigger board.

0 of 120 letters

Board width

The phrase wraps to fit. A narrower board has more rows and stacks more letters under each column.

4 rows × 14 columns · up to 4 letters a heap

Give players a head start

Letters that are already on the board when players open it. They never fall, so they are in no heap either.
