https://wordnerd.co/23words/ is similar (but 23 words instead of 18).

Possibly the biggest difference is that 23 Words continues with the next word if you fail to get a word within 30 seconds. When you have attempted all 23 words it will present you with results like this.

I noticed that Bubble Tea v2 [0] has been released. It looks like a great improvement all round over 1.x. The companion libraries lipgloss[1] and bubbles[2] have also had v2 releases.
