Pick-up Words
To play Pick-up Words, match words jumbled in the center
with the keywords that appear in the upper left-hand corner.
To attempt a match, move the cursor over the word that you
believe is a synonym for the key word and either click the mouse
or press enter. Your match will be successful if the selected
word is a synonym for the keyword and if the selected word is on
the top of the jumble. Your score will increase or decrease by
one point. You can cycle through the keywords by pressing the
space bar.
The jumble has three layers; ordered from top to bottom,
they are colored green, red, and blue. A word can only
successfully be selected if it is completely uncovered by higher
level words. For instance, a blue-level word cannot be selected
if it is crossed by either a red or green level word.
Each word in the jumble matches only one of the keywords.
So, even though other words might in some way relate to the
keyword, you are looking for the best match. Word clusters are
based on Roget's II The New Thesaurus (c.1980).
