MixWord chooses 7 words and places all the letters in a random order 
in a grid, your goal is to try to reconstitute all the words by 
sliding the letters in each row or column. For  moving the letters you 
have just to click in the arrows around the grid. The number at the 
left and the top, guide you to find the solution. The number at left 
indicate the number of letters that this row have in common with one 
of a selected word beginning with this letter. The number at the top 
indicate how many letters in that column are in the same position in 
all the selected words.



ROW  

In the first row we have a 0 this mean that no words begin by the 
letter W ( the first one in the row). But  the 4th et 5th row  have a 
number this means that 2 of the seven word begin by the letter B and V.
 All the other letter in the first column W, L, E , S and D are not 
the first letter of the hidden words. For the 4 th. row the number 3 
means that in this row 3 letters are included (including the B) in the 
hidden word beginning by the letter of the first column. The same 
conclusion applies to  the 5 th. rows with the number 4 at the left 
i.e.: Only 4 letters in this rows (including the first letter V) are 
in the hidden word beginning by the letter V. Always each of  the 7 
hidden word begin by a differents letters.  

COLUMN  
The number at the top of the first column : 2, indicates that only 2 
letters in this column are the first letters of the 7 hiddens words, 
we can deduct that the 2 first letters is B and V because of the 
particularity of the first column. The number 2 at the top of the 
second row indicate that 2 letters of this column are placed in the 
second position in the 7 words. The number 3 at the top of the 3rd 
column mean that only 3 letters are in the 3rd place in all the 
hiddens words etc...  

When a displacement is made all the numbers change to reflect the new 
position of the letters in the grid in relation to the hidden words. 
Then with this clue you can solve the puzzle. Sometime you  have 
enough information to guess the word but you can always find the 
solution by deduction by moving the letters in different ways.  
You can consult the demo to view the working of MixWord.  
When all the letters of a words are found the word became blue and 
freeze. All the other letters will pass over this words. If all the 
letters are in common with a hidden word but are not placed in the 
same order the number at the left became green. The same thing happens 
to a column when all the 7 letters of a column are in the same 
position in the word that the rank of the column the number at the top 
became green.  

The game is finish when you have found all the seven words. You can 
select the level of difficulty by choosing  the size of the word ( see 
Commands) It is advised to look at the strategies topic  to have some 
clues ( see Strategies )  
This is a shareware version, you have a limited number of each word  
( 30 for each size) in the registered version you have a selection of 
1500 words for each size (see Registration).
