A great vocabulary is a handy thing to have, and WORD-UP! can
help you increase or develop yours-whatever your lexicon level.
Compare your score with a friend's or your spouse's, but be
prepared to gloat or to "eat your words."
A challenging word list
A "cheat sentence" feature that works like a hint
A built-in mystery word puzzle
In Word Up, you are asked to define 20 words. Press the letter
that corresponds to the answer you think is the correct one. If
you miss a word, the quiz continues and you'll have a chance to
define that word later. After each correct answer, you may guess
a letter in a Mystery Word (each dash represents a letter). The
definition of the Mystery Word is given. If you correctly guess a
letter, it will be added to the word and you may choose to guess
the Mystery Word. If you give an incorrect letter or guess, you
return to the quiz.
CHEAT - When you are unsure of an answer, you may opt to
"cheat" by pressing F2. You will then see a sample sentence that
uses the word.
SCORING - You'll receive 100 points per unassisted correct
answer and 50 points per assisted correct answer (F2-Cheat).
Those scores double after you've correctly guessed the Mystery
Word.
PROMPT BOX - The box at the bottom of the main screen contains
prompts that will lead you through the quiz.
