The object of this game is to make as
many words as you can from six letters.
The words must use three or more letters.
The six letters on the bottom line are
called the Rack. On this screen the letters
on the rack are hidden with a on each
rack letter position. There will always be
at least one six-letter word.
The number of words that can be made
with the six letters is shown on the right
side of the top four lines. The above sam-
ple screen shows there are 1 [six-letter], 4
[five-letter], 14 [four-letter], and 9 [three-
letter] words that can be made with the
six Rack letters. This, possible words to
be made display, is updated as you make
words, so you will always know how
many words are left to be made.

placed. This line is the Spelled Word
line. Pressing on the Rack letter will
cause it to move to the Spelled Word
