You play a game where you have to memorize a random passphrase and recite it the next day for $1000, game repeats each day but with +1word and +$1000 prize; How many days can you continue this? (sh.itjust.works)

If you remember it wrong, its over. (you keep the money you got and that's it)

No notes, digital physical or otherwise. You're only allowed to use your brain.

Starts with 5 words, totally random, then next day it 6 words (the original words from the previous day is kept the same, but adding one new word). Day one prize is $1000, day 2 prize is $2000... (so you have $3000 if you got the first 2 days correct) and so on...

(All currency in USD at current exchange rate)

How much do you think you can get?

I think I max out at like 12 words, then I'd just mess it up.

Its like: the words comes up on a screen in front of you, a prerecorded voice says the words in the average speed of all english speakers, and its pronounced in the accent of your current region, 5 seconds apart, like this:

Time = 0 second (word appears on screen)

Correct Horse Battery Staple

(5 seconds silence)

Correct Horse Battery Staple

(5 second silence)

Correct Horse Battery Staple

Time = 30 second (word disappears from screen)

That's it. No pause, no repeat.

The next day, the old words don't get shown again, its only the new word.

Then the critical moment would be around 7 and 14 words in. Would I manage to memorise two and three sets of working in allotted time?

It could only be answered empirically. It would be make it or break it moment.
