MIX-WORDS
INSTALLATION:
Type install and MIX_WORD will create a directory named MIXWORD
on your hard drive C and also will copy all the files
To play, type mixwor
You need a mouse and a graphic card (EGA or VGA) to play.
GAME GOAL:
You have to reconstitute 7 words, each letters of these words
are mixed together, by moving each letter around. Letters are
movables either horizontally or vertically. When a hidden word
is found, the letters of this word freezes while the others are
still movables. The game is finished when the 7 words are found.
HOW TO PLAY:
The grid contains 7 words, and all letters are mixed up.
You can move the letters verticaly (up down) or
horizontaly (left right) by cliquing the red arrows
at the end of each colomn and row.
When a displacement of a letter of a row or colomn is
made, all letters of this row or column are moving
in a chained motion. The last letter of the row
or column rotates at the top and pushes the first
one like in a stack.
The digits around the grid indicates the number
of correctly placed letters of the words.
The digit a the top of the colon give the number of
letter(s) of this colun that are in the words a the
same position in the words. There is a link beetwen
the number of the column and the position of the letter
in the word.
Ex: a 3 at the top of the 4th column means that only
three letters in this column are in the 4th position
of the hidden words.
The digit a the right of each rows give the number of
letters of the word begining by the first letter
(remember:the fisrt colon). If you change the letter at
the first colomn the number at the rignt may change because
the number of letters that are in the word begining by this
new letter may be different. If the number is 0 it mean
that you dont have a word begining by this first letter.
FEATURES:
The shareware version contains two level of difficulty:
6 and 7 letters word. The professional edition
(see the order form ) contains 3 levels: 6,7 and 8
letters word! You can save 6 differents games. When you
replay a game and you finish it, the saved game self
erases and becomes free.
WORDS:
For the shareware version you have about 120 differents
words for ech level. But for the professional edition
you have more than 1200 words for the tree playing levels.
STRATEGY AND TIPS:
Try to resolve the words one by one. Try to obtain
all the letters of a word with the help of the numbers
around the grid.
It helps to put the word being worked on at the top of
the grid as the computing of the numbers around it is
done up to down.
When you are about to finish a game, be cautious when
only two word remains. Try to resolve the 2 words at
the same time with the guidance of the numbers before
you place them.
