Hitchin' Post
=============
The exciting word game in which you can actually save someone's
life!
A few notes to make your game more enjoyable:
(1) Be sure to look at the Options > Preferences menu. You can
select the type of sound which the victim emits in case you make 7
wrong letter guesses and the victim is hanged. You can also select
how much of the picture of the hanging will be visible. If you
stop playing, then the changes you make will still be in effect the
next time you start up the game.
(2) When you first play the game, you get to guess words of 5, 6,
7, and 8 letters, randomly arranged. You can use the Options >
Word Length menu to have all words be the same length. If you like
them to be mixed, choose Random.
(3) If you have any questions while playing, just press the F1 key
to get Help.
(4) If you see a word which is new to you, get out your dictionary
and look up its meaning. You might as well learn something while
you are having fun

Mix-Up!
=======
The exciting puzzle that will drive you crazy!
A few notes to make your Mix-Up! experience less mixed-up:
(1) If your computer doesn't have a 'mouse' pointing device, that's
okay, you can still play Mix-Up! Just use your keyboard's arrow
keys to move the puzzle's blank space up, down, left, or right,
until you have solved the puzzle.
(2) If your computer DOES have a 'mouse' pointing device, that's
okay too! Anyone can play Mix-Up!, no matter where they stand on
the mouse issue. With a mouse, just point at the numbered square
you want to move into the blank space, click the left button, and
that square will move.
(3) If you have any questions while playing, just press the F1 key
to get Help.
(4) Even if you don't have questions, look at the Help information
anyway, to learn about the history of this kind of puzzle.
