WordSearch Help

The objective of WordSearch game is to find all the words on the Word List from the scrambled letters in a grid. This game has 60 pre-loaded puzzles that can be played repeatedly and four levels of difficulty.

To play the game, you simply press and hold down the mouse and draw from the first letter to the last letter of a word.

This game offers some very good features:

1.	Each puzzle in the game can be played repeatedly since the letters in grid are arranged randomly and words are placed differently each time you play that puzzle.

2.	You can create and play your own puzzles by clicking the menu choice of: Tools|Create My Own Puzzles. The puzzles you have created will appear on the puzzle selection tree in the New Game dailog box, just like those pre-loaded ones, after you created and saved them.

3.	You can print out puzzle.

4.	You can use Print Solution to print out solutions on top of a puzzle, with all words circled.

5.	There are two ways you can cheat on the game: by using Show Me or by double clicking on the word in the Word List. But your cheats will be recorded on one of  the panes on the status bar. Using Show Me to cheat will account for a full cheat but double clicking on the word is accounted as a half cheat.

6.	Small kids might find capital letters a bit daunting or they might find words spread in all different directions, especially on diagonal, too difficult. For these reasons, you have the option of displaying puzzles in samll letters and you can specify how words are spread. The right most pane on status bar in the bottom of your screen tells you how words are spread, e.g., if it is Horizontal, that neams all words in the letter grid is spread horizontally and are from left to right.

7.	Starting from this version 2.0, WordSearch becomes freeware.
