It has improved alot than the last game which i find very entertaining and of course, useful. The game has now a new mode which is called the Puzzle Mode ( Untimed Mode ). The players are given an unlimited time to solve for the longest word. I will explain all of it into the next following sections. ============================================================================== (6) How the game works....................................................Game ============================================================================== The game is played in two modes as explained below this section. Your main objective is to find the longest words of that level. The longest word has 6 letters and some, 7 letters. You can adjust how many letters for the longest word in the Options. Your other objective is to complete and guess all the words in that level which gives a bonus if you did it before the time limit ends (except for untimed mode since there is no time limit for each level). In the game, the minimum number of letters you could guess is three(3). You cannot guess a two letter word because the game only put the three letter words as the minimum. However, the highest possible number of letters you could guess is seven(7). Each level, you will be given a random set of letters. The given random set of letters always has at least 1 longest word and its impossible if there isn't. So let's say you have this given letters: P-A-R-E-I-R Using those letters, form out any words you could form out from the given letters. One word that you could form out is "RAP". In order to form the word "RAP", you will have to select the letters of that word. Do it in order because if you clicked "P" first, it might turn out as "PAR" but its still a word though. Now, let's say you click "R" now. The next thing you gotta do is to click "A". After that, click the last letter "P" to form the word "RAP". The same goes in forming other words as well. Let's say you almost got all the words. Your looking for the longest word. With the given set of letters: P-A-R-E-I-R, you can form 2 longest words. One is "RAPIER" and the other one is "PAIRER". Now, you got "RAPIER". There will be a confirmation screen telling you that you got the longest word of that level and can continue to the next level. However, if you like to have high scores, you would need to guess the other longest word for extra points although it isn't required since the game only asks you to guess 1 longest word of the level. ============================================================================== (7) Games Modes..........................................................Modes ============================================================================== There are two (2) game modes on this game. These are the Action Mode ( Timed Mode ) and the Puzzle Mode ( Untimed Mode ): Action Mode ( Timed Mode ) - This is most likely the same as the first game if you played the first one called "TextTwist". You are given a moderate time limit to solve for the longest word of the level. When the time runs out you fail the level but saves your score ( if you gladly made it to the high scores ) Puzzle Mode ( Untimed Mode ) - This is just the opposite of the Action Mode. You are given an "unlimited" time limit to solve for the longest word of the level which is compared to Action Mode which has a time limit to solve for the longest word. ============================================================================== (8) Instructions......................................................Instruct ============================================================================== OBJECT - From words from the letters provided.
