- OBJECTIVE
-
- The object of WordMax is to find as many new words as you can
- using the letters that make up the Master Word.
-
-
- GAME PLAY
-
- The program will ask you to type in your initials in order to set
- up your personal scorecard. You will only have to select the
- number corresponding to your initials the next time you play.
- Up to 8 players can be recorded with personal scorecards.
-
- Select a Master Word by pressing the <C>hoose Word option. A
- scrolling list of Master Words will appear. Using your arrow keys
- (Up/Dwn/PgUp/PgDwn), select the word you want from the list.
- Press the <Enter> key to load the Master Word into the program.
-
- There are two numbers next to the words. Example: Arcade 43/0
- The first number represents the number of possible words that
- WordMax has found for that Master Word, the second number is the
- number of words that you have found.
-
- Once you've selected a word, it will appear on the game board.
- A yellow border will surround the first letter of the word.
- To create a new word using the letters from this Master Word,
- use your right & left arrow keys to move the yellow highlight
- until it appears on the letter you want selected. Press the
- <Spacebar> to Select the letter. The letter you've selected
- will now appear in the small box below the Master Word.
-
- Continue selecting letters from the remaining letters in the
- Master Word to produce a new word. When you want to check the
- new word you've created, press the <Down Arrow> or <Enter> key.
- This word will be checked against WordMax's 80,000 word dictionary
- to see if you have spelled a new word. New words must be at least
- 3 letters long and can only be used once during a round. However,
- you can add plurals to the word to make another word.
-
- For example:
-
- The Master Word is: CHARTS
-
- You Could Create : Rat/Tar/Rats/Tars/Char/Chars/Chart/Art etc...
- (There are about 45 different words you could
- create from this single word!)
-
-
-
- CANCEL LETTERS
-
- You can cancel your letter choices at any point by pressing
- the <Esc> key. This will erase all the previously selected
- letters and restore the Master Word to the game board.
