What is SubWords?
How to Play SubWords

SubWords is an ADDICTIVE word game.  The object of SubWords is to find as many words as possible using the letters of a given word.  For example, using the letters of "OBFUSCATE" you can find "ABET", "ABOUT", "ACE", etc.

Running the Program

After starting SubWords, press the "Start Game" button with the mouse.  The letter cubes will be drawn, and you can begin entering words as you find them.  After entering each word, press the "Add Word to List" button with the mouse or type the Enter key.  When you have typed in all the words that you can find, press the "Quit Game" button with the mouse.

After you have quit, SubWords displays the words that you found, as well as other words that could have been found.  Then you can play another game by pressing the "Start Game" button, or you can quit the program by pressing the "Exit " button.

Entering Words

You can enter words by using the keyboard, or by pressing the letter cubes with the mouse.  You can edit words as you enter them by moving to the Word field (with the mouse or by typing Alt+W).  The backspace and arrow keys can be used to edit the word.  Press the Clear button to delete all characters from the word.

When you enter a word that is not in the program's dictionary, you will be asked if the word is a valid word.  If you answer yes, the word will be added to the dictionary for use in subsequent games.

How to Edit the Dictionary

The program's dictionary is stored in a file named SUBWORDS.TXT which resides in the directory in which SubWords was installed.

This dictionary can be edited with a word processor.  For example:  Run the WordPad program (Start Menu / Programs / Accessories / WordPad).  Make your changes and save the file.

Make sure the file has exactly one word per line.  Make sure that words are only entered once.
