Finnegans triskaidekaphobia is a simple word game. It’s based on the thirteen letter words, seven hundred five of them, in the James Joyce novel Finnegans Wake. Essentially one is to match words.

They may appear in various states such as jumbled:
CIRCUMFERENCE = MEIRRENCUCFEC,
or with letters blanked:
FATHOMGLASSES = A HO GL SE ,
or with letters alphabetized:
GENUFLECTIONS = CEEFGILNNOSTU,
and contrariwise: UTSONNLIGFEEC,
perhaps even with combinations like jumbled and blanked together.

A game is thirteen rounds, and each round is timed by thirteen beats. There are thirteen difficulty levels determined by how quickly one answers correctly. Rounds at level thirteen are recursive. Repeating as long as one answers quickly and correctly.

"And forthemore let legend go lore of it that mortar scene so cwympty dwympty what a dustydust it razed arboriginally but, lucks leap to the lad at the top of the ladder, so sartors risorted why the sinner the badder! Ho ho ho hoch!"
