This game is like Boggle; you must make as many words as possible before
the time is up, the letters must be touching each other, and while you can make words as
small as 3 letters, you will get more points the larger the word is. You do not play
against the computer, which means that when you finish, the computer won't show you a huge
word list that makes you feel like a dummy.
One thing I love about this game; so many Boggle type games are played completely with the
mouse which will slow you done. Although you can use nothing but the mouse, they have it
set up so that you left click on the letters you want, right click when you've changed
your mind; but to save the word, you can use the space bar. This means that it will go
real fast, which is great because a random letter bounces around the screen, only staying
in one spot for 19 seconds. This makes life real interesting [thank God right clicking
cancels the words-it happens a lot that the letter disappears from the middle of your
word].
The shareware version lays the letters out in a diamond pattern, if you register the game,
there is 11 other setups, which gives old Boggle players something new to enjoy. If you
enjoy word games and Boggle, then this one is definitely worth the time and the money!
