- Can you look at a word or phrase, reshuffle the letters and find all of
- the smaller words contained within it? That's the object of MANGLE.
-
- For instance, the word "INCREDIBLY" contains BIND, BINDER, CINDER,
- BLED, BLIND, etc. It does NOT contain BLAND (no A), BLEED (only 1 E) or
- BIRDLY (not a word). Also, words must be 4-12 letters, so BIN is not
- legal. Words requiring punctuation or mixed case, like proper names, are
- also not legal.
-
- MANGLE will begin by telling you how many words can be obtained from
- the puzzle word. Each legal word that you key in will earn you points. If
- MANGLE says the word is not legal, use the backspace key to correct it.
- (There's no penalty for guessing.)
-
- At the end of play, you'll be able to compare your total point score
- against other players to see how you stack up. (For practice round(s)
- without showing your score publicly, press '@' anytime after play starts.)
- You'll have 8 minutes to key in as many words as you can -- or press Esc to
- quit sooner. For hints while playing -- only in practice rounds -- key in
- one or more letters and press '#'.
-
- Now Press any key to proceed...
