MagicOfWords

Compose words from 1, 2 or 3 letter fragments below the game board!

The game has 2 different modes: Collect-Words and Use-Fixed-Letters.

In both modes: select the appropriate letters from the letters located under the playing field, touch to rotate them to the desired direction, and drag them to the desired position on the playing field. Letters placed in this way are red.

Red letters can be freely moved to any free place on the playing field. To move, simply swipe your finger horizontally or vertically over the letters you want to move, then move your finger to an empty field to enable the move mode, and then drag the selected letters to any place. The selected letters are blue. If one of the moving letters moves over an other, the color changes to dark red. If at raising a finger any letters are dark red, the letters will return to their original position, otherwise they will remain in the new position.

The goal of the game is to collect as many points as possible while completing the task:

- Game Collect-Words: collect a predefined number of different words
- Game Use-Fixed-Letters: use a predefined number of fixed letters.

When the task is completed, you can choose:
- continue with new task
- finish the game

The selection of words is very simple: on the playing field, touch the first letter of the word that you want to select, and then slide your finger over the other letters of the word. Raise your finger above the last letter of the word. The application will check if there is such a word in its dictionary. If so, the word is accepted and turns green. If the selected word is not recognized by the game, the letters of the word will flash red three times. The game gives points for the accepted words: 2 letters - 0 points, 3 - 10, 4 - 50, 5 - 100, etc.
When choosing words, the direction of the letters can be arbitrary.
If there is no place left for further letters on the playing field, the “New Game” button will change to “New Round” and begin to flash in different colours. In this case, several options:
- if there are still empty places on the playing field, but they do not adjoin each other, you can rearrange the red letters to make room for additional fragments of words.
- choose further words on the playing field (you become bonus points for reusing green letters!)
- start a new round using the "New Circle" button.

When you click the New Circle button, green letters are removed from the playing field using a spectacular animation, while red letters and unused fixed letters remain in place.

Rules of the game:
- the game accepts only singular nouns
- words can be selected in any direction, but the selected word must not intersect itself
- identical words must not contain common letters
- in the case of the game Use-Fixed-Letters, the rules of giving points change: each fixed letter and each round doubles the points per word.

Useful Tips:
- pay attention to words that make sense in both directions (for example, dap / pad)
- there are many words, parts of which are also meaningful words (automation / automat / auto)

Searching of Words:
A very useful feature! When you press the Magnifying Glass button above the upper right corner of the playing field, the entire game board will be moved down and a new window will open with 5 buttons below it:
- Check Mark symbol (OK - Stops searching words)
- ? (any letter on this place is suitable)
- * (any letters in its place are suitable)
-  back arrow (<-)
- sort (sorts the result by word length)

Using the letters of the playing field as well ? and * you can create search words. Use the back button to remove the last letter of the search word.
Examples:
- search word:?O?O?A - finds for example the words: corona, jojoba, ...

- search word: C*O - finds for example the words: cello, commando, cappuccino, concertino, ...

Click OK to complete the search.

The game knows 4 languages: English, German, Hungarian, Russian.

Have fun!
