The object of the game is to compose words horizontally and vertically.
To Start:
Click the "Click for the Next Letter " button.
A letter will appear.
Select a vacant cell in the word square grid. Click on the cell in the grid, the cell will turn pink. When the cell turns pink you may then type a letter on the keyboard. To erase one letter, click on the cell and then press the "space" bar. To erase all of the letters in the grid, click the "Clear the Grid" button.
Repeat this procedure until all of the cells of the square are filled.
At that point the game is completed.
To compute the score:
A five letter word is worth five points.
A four letter word is worth four points.
A three letter word is worth three points.
A four or three letter word across must start in the first column.
A four or three letter word down must start in the first row.
Bonus: A five letter diagonal word is worth five points.
A perfect score is 50 points. (60 points with 2 diagonal words)
