Windows Word Search Rampage - Program Overview
The Multi-Media ready Windows Word Search Rampage comes complete with over
100 puzzles that can be played right on the computer or can be printed out
for activities, parties, friends or family. Each puzzle has its own name
and falls under one of several categories. Playing a puzzle is easy and
fun. Simply double click on the puzzle of your choice from a list box and
the puzzle appears along with a list of words to be found in the puzzle.
Once a word is spotted, click on the first letter of the word and hold the
mouse button down. As you drag the mouse a line appears showing your
movement. Drag the mouse to the ending letter of the word and release the
mouse button. Behold, the word in the puzzle is highlighted, one of
several congratulatory audio remarks will be heard, and the word in the
list will be marked as found. Playing at work? No problem. You may
optionally turn the sound off. Sure that the word is not in the puzzle?
Well, you can activate the hint mode. Other options include the ability
to time yourself as you play the puzzle, use upper or lower case letters,
place a grid around the puzzle for better clarity and to leave used letters
in the puzzle highlighted. You may create, edit and delete your own
puzzles. Simply enter a topic, title, list of words and dimensions and
push a button. Presto, the puzzle is created and you now have the option
of saving it to disk where it will appear with the other puzzles in the
list box. You may also vary the complexity level of the created puzzle.
An option to to create puzzles with no diagonal words, less diagonals,
average diagonals and more diagonals is also available. Printing options
include upper or lower case letters, optional grid and full page printing
or half page printing (left side, top page, 2 side by side, 2 up and down).
