C) Mixed up Words

Aim: To put in order the letters shown, to correctly spell a word.

How it works :


The mixed up word is shown on top. The user must slide down the letters. One achieves this by clicking on a letter and dragging it in its proper position below while maintaining the button of the mouse in the downward position; when the letter is in the right place, one releases the mouse button.

The left-hand cylinder shows the number of words correctly spelled. To win, one must reach the top. Three hints are available, as one clicks on the corresponding button. This places corrects letters in the first, second and third positions, successively.

After three hints, the "Hint" button becomes unavailable ( gray ). The bottom button gives the correct answer, but no point. See the preferences section for a way to add your own words.

The number showing up in the small box at the bottom reflects the quality of the guess. The better the guess, the higher the score. ( Mathematically, its 50 / ((number of letters moved - number of letters in the word )+1)

When you see a little hand, click on the mouse to get the next word.

Note: The background image gives a further hint as to which type of word is sought.
