Word Hunt v1.0
(c) Tollside Ltd 1999

OVERVIEW:

Word Hunt is a puzzle which works on the word search principal.  It has a 15x15 grid of letters and up to 16 words can be hidden in random positions.  There is a practice mode and the word list can also be hidden.  

There are 50 stock games included, and users can also enter their own or edit or delete the existing ones.

Statistics show the fastest time and game name

Games can also be printed out 


INSTALLATION:

After the files have been unzipped place them in a dedicated directory and run SETUP.EXE




PLAYING THE GAME:

Select a game by clicking on the games list.  The words will be displayed at random and extra random letters will be included to fill the grid.  Once you have identified a word, click on the first letter at the start of it and a coloured circle will appear around it.  Click on all subsequent letters and it will be removed from the word list.  

If you make a mistake and press the wrong letter, a warning message will appear and all previous circles for that word will be removed.

If you use practice mode then the random letters used to fill up the grid are always 'Z'.  There is no scoring in practice mode.

If you uncheck 'show word list' then the word list will not be visible.

If you pick another game before finishing the first you will be asked if you wish to resign the first game.

If you complete a game, the statistics will be updated.


DESIGNING YOUR OWN GAMES:

Press the Designer button to go into the Design Screen.

Press New to create a new game - you will be asked if you want to keep the words of the existing game.  If you answer yes the existing words will not be blanked out.

Choose a name for the game (up to 32 characters, any character allowable)

Press Tab and enter your words (up to 16, max length 15 characters). you can use upper or lower case, but everything is converted to upper case when saved.  Also any characters not in the range of A - Z are removed.

Press Save to save game or Exit or New again (you will be asked if you wish to save changes)

You can also use this screen to edit or delete an existing game (both name of game and words in it)

Do not put words in the same game where a word is identical to the start of another word e.g. SAND and SANDSTORM.  This leads to confusion in the puzzle.
