Password Lightning Round: 30 Quick Words and a One-Minute Challenge

PRIVATE HOST KEY: keep away from guessers

For Classic paper play, clue-givers see one word and invent one legal one-word clue. Give guessers one attempt, then alternate. Paper score: one point per solved card. This differs from Classic app scoring. Prepared-clue Host Mode needs separately entered clues and passwords.
