WordTrix 2.0 Info
About
When you start a new game, one letter at a time will fall from the top of the screen to the bottom. The object of the game is to make the letters fall in such a way that they spell a word. The words can be any English word from 3-6 characters in length, and can be arranged either top-to-down or left-to-right, just like a crossword puzzle! WordTrix 2.0 recognizes almost 30,000 words, taken from the official Scrabble dictionary!
The controls are fairly simple. You use the left and right arrow keys to control the position of the falling letter. The speed of the game starts at a rather leisurely pace. After every word is made, the speed will gradually increase! You can even turn the speed increase off if you're a beginner player!
After approximately every five formed words, a special block will appear. Every letter that is on the screen that this block falls on will be cleared! This is handy for those Q, X, and Z pieces!
There is an extra incentive for finding words within words. You will get points for every word co
ntained within the word! For example, if you spell 'CRAMPS', you will get points for 'CRAMPS', 'CRAMP', 'CRAM', 'RAMP', 'RAMPS', 'AMP', and 'AMPS'!
If the letters pile to the top, the game is over!
Online High Scores
If you match at least 40 words in a game, you can post your score online! Please note that if you turn the speed increase off, you will not be able to post your score online.
