WHAT IS 22 SECONDS? 22 Seconds is a calm, minimal word game where you try to match a single word with an AI companion. You’re both given the same broad subject. Every 22 seconds, you each commit to one word. If your words match, you’re done. If they don’t you try again. There’s no chat, no direct coordination. Just you, another mind, and the slow process of finding the same idea with only the lightest hints of feedback between rounds.
