Aim: To guess a hidden word while developing vocabulary and spelling skills.
The user has to guess the hidden word by clicking on the right
letters. One can also choose a letter by hitting the corresponding
key on the keyboard. A correct guess will show the letter in the
appropriate position in the word. An incorrect letter adds a part to
the drawing on the left. A chosen letter becomes unavailable.
The object is to complete the word before the drawing is
completed.
The right-hand lower picture is a hint as to what type of word it is.
The left-hand lower number indicates the performance of the player.
Two more hints are available, by clicking on the corresponding
button.
If a letter appears twice or more often in a word, all are shown in
the proper position.
The horizontal cylinder fills to the right with every correct word,
and to the left with incorrect ones. Reaching either end stops the
game. When you see a little hand, click on the mouse to get the next
word.
Note: The instructor or parent can change the words that are
hidden ( see the "Preferences..." section of this guide ).
