OBJECTIVE
The object of WordMax is to find as many new words as you can
using the letters that make up the Master Word.
GAME PLAY
The program will ask you to type in your initials in order to set
up your personal scorecard. You will only have to select the
number corresponding to your initials the next time you play.
Up to 8 players can be recorded with personal scorecards.
Select a Master Word by pressing the <C>hoose Word option. A
scrolling list of Master Words will appear. Using your arrow keys
(Up/Dwn/PgUp/PgDwn), select the word you want from the list.
Press the <Enter> key to load the Master Word into the program.
There are two numbers next to the words. Example: Arcade 43/0
The first number represents the number of possible words that
WordMax has found for that Master Word, the second number is the
number of words that you have found.
Once you've selected a word, it will appear on the game board.
A yellow border will surround the first letter of the word.
To create a new word using the letters from this Master Word,
use your right & left arrow keys to move the yellow highlight
until it appears on the letter you want selected. Press the
<Spacebar> to Select the letter. The letter you've selected
will now appear in the small box below the Master Word.
Continue selecting letters from the remaining letters in the
Master Word to produce a new word. When you want to check the
new word you've created, press the <Down Arrow> or <Enter> key.
This word will be checked against WordMax's 80,000 word dictionary
to see if you have spelled a new word. New words must be at least
3 letters long and can only be used once during a round. However,
you can add plurals to the word to make another word.
For example:
The Master Word is: CHARTS
You Could Create : Rat/Tar/Rats/Tars/Char/Chars/Chart/Art etc...
(There are about 45 different words you could
create from this single word!)
CANCEL LETTERS
You can cancel your letter choices at any point by pressing
the <Esc> key. This will erase all the previously selected
letters and restore the Master Word to the game board.
