Tips & Warnings
Remember to use plurals for words whenever you can.
The letter combinations get harder the more levels you complete.
Try to come up with the biggest word possible, as soon as you can, because it is often easier to see more words within an actual word, rather than within a bunch of jumbled letters.
Take a moment to refresh a weary brain in between levels, so you can start fresh. The level doesn't start until you click the "Start" button.
Use Internet Explorer to take advantage of the game's ability to remember your high score for the gaming session.
Press the "Twist" button under the letters to jumble the letters again.
Don't pay attention to the countdown clock. Focus completely on the letters.
