A letter may be moved to any spot within the scrambled word. Once you have selected a letter, press the letter button where you want to move the letter to. If the letter is correct in the new position it will flash several times and stop automatically.

PLAYING THE GAME

Your goal is to earn as many points as you can by putting the scrambled words in their correct order. To begin playing, use the

ON/HINT button. The category will display on the console for the scrambled word. Then, start to move the letters into their correct place. You will have five minutes to try and solve as many words as possible.

USING HINTS

During game play, you can press the ON/HINT button for a hint. You can use three free hints per game. After you have used the three hints, points are deducted from your final score.

SCORING POINTS

You score a point for each letter you put into the correct order. Remember, after you have used your free three hints, points are deducted from your final score.

There is a progressive penalty when using hints. After you have used your three free hints and press hint again, one point is deducted from your score. If you press the hint button again, two more points are deducted from your score and so on.

NEW GAME

The NEW GAME button may be pressed any time during game play. After it is pressed, the
