This is a casual word game in which the aim is to create words by placing letter tiles around the edges of the "blob". Currently available only on Android. Click on the title to the left to install from the Google Play Store.

The Score Board

The scoreboard at the top shows your current score and the highest score you've achieved so far, since you first installed the game. In later versions of the game I hope to create an online leader board so you can compare your performance with other players.

The light bulb button, next to the top score, is what you touch/press if you want a hint. The aim of the game is to make words of four letters or more by placing letter tiles on the board. The game will generally try to help you. If there is already a horizontal or vertical line of three or more letters which, with one extra letter on the beginning or end, would form a word, it will (usually) ensure that the next letter it gives you is the correct one. So, for example if the three letters "BLO" are somewhere on the board in a horizontal or vertical line it will (probably) give you a "B" next, to make the word "BLOB". If you want more help, pressing the "hint" button will tell you where that next letter can be placed. But you only get to do that three times in a single game.

The Game

Time

The next letter tile to be placed on the board is shown at the top of the screen. But you don't get forever to decide where to place it. After a short while, if you haven't yet touched one of the highlighted squares on the board, surrounding the "blob" of existing letter tiles, that next letter tile will start to fly towards a randomly selected one of those squares. You can still touch on the square you want even while the tile is flying. But once it reaches its randomly chosen destination, you're stuck with it there. This process gets faster and faster as the game goes on, giving you less and less time to decide where to place your next letter. That speed is indicated by the clock on the top right of the screen. The hand of that clock moves faster and faster. When the hand is in the red section of the clock face, that's when the tile is flying towards its randomly chosen destination.
