Developer’s Description

By Novel Games
Test your vocabulary by linking up the letters.
How many words can you form with the given letters? In this game you will be given 16 letter tiles, and your task is to form words with 3 to 8 letters within the time limit. You can click a correct number of adjacent letters in vertical, horizontal or diagonal directions, for example "C-A-R-E". An arrow will then appear to link up the letters, and the word "CARE" will be displayed under the grid. You can then click the last letter tile of the word to submit. If the word exists, it will appear on the right of the grid, forming a word list. Then you can start to spell another word and the game continues. Your score will be counted according to the number of words formed and the number of letters in each word; the longer the word, the higher your score. An extra bonus will be awarded if all valid words are formed. The remaining time will be indicated by the timer above the grid. You can use the same letter tile more than once, so try to form as many words as possible before the time runs out. Also be reminded that when you correctly spell a word with 5 or more letters, your word list will be sorted alphabetically, and the number of letters of the words not yet formed will be hinted by spaces, so don't hesitate to form longer, bigger words. Win the game by finding all the words and become a real word game expert!
