Wordy in mid-game - bonus points for anyone who can tell me the last word... |
I'm still working on it, but give it a try if you want. I haven't done much interface work - e.g., no instructions! But it works. We've played a bunch of games of it already. To play, type any words you can make out of the letters provided, and try to get them all in the time limit.
I built it using a little PHP and a lot of JavaScript with a bunch of help from the CraftyJS game library, which I'd recommend to anybody. The dictionary I used was a subset of Kevin Atkinson's SCOWL project which was super-useful - I didn't want to use the whole Scrabble dictionary with all the really obscure words, but I wanted it to be mostly complete, and SCOWL let me decide what level of obscurity I was comfortable with. I'm still editing my list as I discover words it doesn't have (or words that it does have that it shouldn't!).
Anyway, give it a try, and let me know what you think! The game is here:
