AlphaSwap Rules
1. The Board uses all 26 letters of the alphabet in the perimeter boxes. Within the inner 9 boxes, it uses random common letters.
2. There are 3 rounds in the game. Each round is 3 minutes long.
3. Each round consists of:
90 second Letter Swap stage.
&
90 second Word Submit stage.
4. Score is cumulative over 3 rounds.
Letter Swap Stage
Players are given two types of Letter Swaps to use to switch letters on the board.
Swap ANY - Players may swap any two letters.
Swap ADJACENT - Players may swap any two adjacent letters.
Player may use ANY, ALL, or NONE of their swaps. The amount of swaps varies by round.
Round 1: (3) Swap Any & (3) Swap Adjacent. (1) Random Letter is worth 2x normal value.
Round 2: (4) Swap Any & (4) Swap Adjacent. (1) Random Letter is worth 3x normal value.
Round 3: (5) Swap Any & (5) Swap Adjacent. (1) Random Letter is worth 2x normal value & (1) Random Letter is worth 3x normal value.
Word Submit Stage
Players are given 90 seconds to find and submit words to score.
Spell out words by touching letters on the board and then use the SUBMIT button to score the word.
To CLEAR a partially or misspelled word, don't submit it! Simply TOUCH a letter already used & lit up to clear the entire word.
Words can be spelled forward, backwards, up, down, or diagonally, but must stay in one direction. Letters must be on consecutive squares in that direction.
A word may only be scored once PER GAME, whether it appears more than once or is a palindrome(noon, radar, etc).
Players may submit as many words as they find in the time allowed.
Submitting an ILLEGAL WORD scores negative 25 points and immediately ENDS TURN.
A Unique Word Scoring Formula that is simple yet play balanced.
Reviews
Great word game
Hactics
I love this game. I participated in the beta and have been enjoying it since the first build was released. You have to think fast and plan ahead. It's like boggle in a sense but the original element takes it from being a game based. On a little skill and mostly randomness to a game that requires a lot of skill and strategic thinking. Awesome job. (Kedens on Touch Arcade)
MMO Boggle Game

This is like boggle except you can move some letters around. Playing against other people in the vs world area makes me feel less lonely 8-)
A Fun And Multifeatured Word Game
Undeadcows
Alphaswap is simple to play but has a lot of complexity with different features. It's good for a quick game (most last 3 minutes) but you'll want to keep trying to get a higher score. AlphaSwap is like Scrabble amped up.
Cool little game

This is a cool little game, the loading times are a bit over the top, but it's worth it. -Skeblik

This game is seriously awesome! It is like a mix of scramble and rummy. Multiple game modes, many words and multiple languages, awesome! I really recommend all word game fans to try this!
Great!!

This game is really good! Sorta like word carnival but with a "techy" feel to it. I like the concept and everything but instructions need to be more clear. I had no idea how to submit a word lol. With that said, this game gets 5 stars!!
A new twist... er, swap on the word game genre

If you love word searches, scrabble, boggle and the like, then you'll feel right at home with AlphaSwap. The game starts with the usual grid of scrambled letters that a typical word game would offer, but the difference in this game is that you are allowed to swap several letters before you start looking for the highest scoring words. This mechanic allows you to make 6 and 7 letter words much more often then other word games. It has several modes of play, and should help boost your vocabulary a bit as well. Highly recommended.
