you have created and the amount of possible
words you can create.
While creating other words from the Given
Word, you may see what words you have
already created by pressing the SCROLL
button.
The game is over when the timer runs out or
once you have created all the possible words
from the Given Word.
Scoring:
The amount of words you successfully find
is divided by the amount of possible words
giving you the %. For instance, if you found 5
out of 11 of the possible words your score
would be 45%.
Hold down the NEW GAME to start a new
game in the same skill level. You may also
