The object of this game is to make as
many words as you can from a square
grid of letter cells. However, the selected
letter cells on the grid must be adjacent
or diagonal to each other. For 3x3 and
4x4 grids, the words must use three or
more letters. If the grid size is 5x5, the
words must use four letters or more. On
this screen the letters on the grid are hid-
den with a
on each grid letter position.

The
...
called the Spelled Word line. The number
of boxes on the Spelled Word line is the
length of the longest word that can be
made from the letters in the square grid.
The number of words that can be made
with the grid letters is shown on the right
side of the screen. The above sample
screen shows there are 1 [six-letter], 4
,
[five-letter], 14 [four-letter], and 9 [three-
letter] words that can be made with the
grid letters. This, possible words to be
made display, is updated as you make
words, so you will always know how
or
many words are left to be made.
Pressing on a grid letter will cause it to
move to the Spelled Word line. You can
take back the last placed spelled letter by
pressing on it, and it will return to the
grid. If you would like to return all your
spelled letters to the grid, simply press
the
key.
Once you have spelled your word, press
the ENTER key. If it is a valid word from
the over 47,000-word vocabulary, it will
be scored, the count of words using its
letter length will be reduced, and finally
the letters will be returned to the grid. If
it is not a valid word, a ? will be dis-
played.
If you have not turned the timer off, the
amount of time you have to make words
will be shown on the clock display.
You will also see your initial zero score,
which will be updated as you make
words. Longer letter length words
receive more points. If you do well and
achieve a good score, you will be given
a Bonus Round with a new grid of letters
