RULES
This game is based on the Milton Bradley game of almost the
same name. (A coincidence , surely!). The object of the game is
to spell as many words as possible with letters given in a four
by four matrix.
Each letter in the word must be next to the preceding
letter. For example in the following grid:
A S T R
Q W X Y
R R T U
B E C F
Starting with the letter "W" you can go to the letter "A",
from "A" you can go to "S" to finally spell "WAS". You may start
a word with any letter in the grid. Other words you could create
using this grid include "CUTE", "CUTER","SAW"...
Note that you could NOT spell the word "SWAT": you can go
from "S" to "W" to "A" but that "T" is not next to the "A".
MOUSE CONTROL
Just click on any letter using the right mouse button to
start your word. The next letters available to you will be high
lighted. Keep clicking on letters until you have formed a word
then press either of the "Enter Word" buttons. Alternatively,
you could have clicked on the LAST letter of your word using the
RIGHT mouse button or DOUBLE CLICKED on it: this has the
same effect as clicking on the last letter and clicking on the
"Enter Word" button. Do not click on the last letter with the
left mouse button and then the right button this will have no
effect, click the last letter ONLY with the right mouse button,
instead of clicking with the left button and then the "Enter
Word" button.
If for some reason you have entered a wrong letter, you
can go backwards by clicking on the "Erase Last Letter" button.
If you should wish to delete a previously made word from
your list, just highlight it and click the "Erase Highlited Word"
button. Note that the last word entered is always the default
highlighted word.
If you wish to end your game before the timer runs out
just click on the Stop icon. The game will count how many
correct words you have and move you to the next round.
EDIT
Fonts: This allows you to change the font used in the dice
set. The lower square with the letter "B" in it shows
you what each square will look like with the font
selected. Click on OK to choose that font.
Dictionary: This will allow you to remove certain words that
you either do not like or were incorrectly
entered.
OPTIONS
Word Length Scoring: Instead of scoring by number of words, the
points is based on the length of the words used. The points
for a word are equal to the number of letters in that word.
There is a 30 point bonus for any word containing 7 or more
letters. This option is only available BEFORE starting a game
and cannot be changed once a game is started.
Lines: Some people like to see "lines" connecting each
consecutive letter. If you are one of these types of
people, select the "Lines" option in any Option menu.
Rounds: The game normally consists of four separate rounds.
This can be changed anywhere from 1 to 6 rounds.
Time: Each round normally lasts 3 minutes. This can be
changed to any number between 1 and 6 minutes.
