WORDS*WORDS is a word game for the IBM PC and clones. The
program selects a five letter puzzle word, and you must try to
identify the word in 18 guesses or less. For each guess the
program will tell you how many letters are common to the puzzle
word. If you solve the puzzle, the program displays a comment or
quotation based on the puzzle word.
Some simpler versions of this game allow you to guess
arbitrary combinations of letters instead of words. That makes
the game childishly simple. WORDS*WORDS uses a dictionary of more
than 6000 five letter words to make sure that you guess real
words. This makes the game challenging enough for an adult. It
places a premium on your ability to make rational deductions and
to do logical manipulation of words and letters.
This is a challenging puzzle. It requires a good bit of
concentration, careful logic and a facility with words and
letters. It is not a game for children.
INSTRUCTIONS Use the DOS PRINT command to print the WW.DOC
file. It should only take a minute or two. The printout has ample
left margin so you can punch holes and put it in a loose leaf
book.
