It's like one of those word games but without the rush and frustration - surprisingly addicting!
How To Play
The object of the game is to tap all the letters and play all the words. When you can't think of any more words, move to the next round and play with different letters. Each new round, one of your consonants (or five - you choose) will be replaced with new ones. You'll also get two new random vowels. Keep going until you've played all the letters!
The Letter Bar
The Letter Bar holds your letters. You'll always get five consonants and two vowels, so you should never get too stuck! And take your time - there's no time limit, no need to hurry!
The Word Bar
Each letter you tap will appear in the Word Bar. If you make a mistake, don't worry - just tap the letter and it will go back to the Letter Bar.
Enter Word
Once you've made a word, tap the Enter Word button and... is it a word? The dictionary says Yes!
The Word List
Once you've played a word, it will appear in the Word List along with its score (more about that later). Want to re-play a word and add an S? Just tap the word in the Word List and it will appear in the Word Bar. Easy!
Letter Bubbles
Each round you'll swap out one or more consonants to make room for new ones. Letter Bubbles will help you keep track of what's done and what's to come. The letters currently in play are in green bubbles. Future consonants are in blue, vowels in gold. Once you've used up a consonant, its bubble will turn gray.
Shuffle Button
Sometimes you just need to see your letters in a different order. Tap the Shuffle button to juggle the Letter Bar.
Swap Vowels
Have you run out of words but want to keep your consonants? For the price of just one coin (more about those later) you can swap your vowels but keep your consonants. Keep on playing!
Extra Letter
Need a little more help? For the price of just one coin you can add a letter to the Letter Bar until the end of the current round. It might be a consonant, might be a vowel, might even be a letter you've already used up - totally random!
Coin Button
The Coin Button shows how many coins you have. You'll earn coins for achievements such as 7-letter words or playing most of the possible word combinations. The game will also give you coins periodically and at the end of the game. Tap the Coin button for other ways to earn or purchase coins.
Next Round
Eventually it will be time for new letters. Tap the Next Round button to swap out one or more consonants for new ones. If you're swapping multiple letters, you may run out at the end of the game. Not to worry, we'll add some random ones! Each round you'll also get two random vowels.
Once you're playing your last group of letters, this button will change to "End Game" - be sure to press it when you run out of words so you can collect your end-of game bonus coins!
Scoreboard
At the top of the screen you'll find the scoreboard, which will tell you how awesome you are!
This is where you'll see your score for this round. You get points for each letter (one for a/e/i/o/u, two for l/n/r/s/t, four for b/c/d/g/m/p, six for f/h/v/w/y, and eight for j/k/q/x/z). Plus points for word length: 3-letter words add one point, 4: two points, 5: four, 6: eight, and 7-letter words earn 16 points, plus a coin!
Menu Button
Press the Menu button and Show Tutorial to turn the tutorial on. This menu is also where you'll go to start a new game, view this Help, show the tutorial, or use the About screen to learn more about the game or contact the developer.
Tutorial
When you start the game for the first time, a tutorial will appear - a green text box in the middle of the screen and a green bar at the bottom. The tutorial will teach you about the game - what to tap and how to play, even while you're playing! Press the green Left and Right buttons at the bottom of the screen to move from step to step.
