Product Description:

Find A Word is a word game. There are five turns to a game and each turn lasts 30, 60 or 90 seconds, selectable by the user; a countdown is displayed to let you know when the end of the turn is near. When you click the "Start Game" button, you will see three vowels and five consonants in the Letter Pot field. Your goal is to make as many words as you can from these letters. Enter Your Word and click on the "Enter" button (or press the Return key). To be accepted, a word must be made from the Letter Pot letters, be included in the Find A Word dictionary (no proper names, contractions or abbreviations) and be unique (not used before in this turn). If you do not want to wait until the end of the turn, click the "Start Turn" button to continue through your five turns. The "End Game" button clears all words and scoring. You get ten points for each word plus one point for each letter in the word. If you find 30 words before the end of a turn, the turn ends and you get 200 bonus points plus a time bonus (1/10/100 points per unused second for 90/60/30 seconds per turn). At the end of five turns, your Total Score will be compared to the top ten scores. If your score is within the ten top scores, your name, score, number of turns that you received a bonus and your Time per Turn will be added to the High Scores table. The High Scores window can be accessed at any time from the menu bar. You can edit a name in the High Scores window by double-clicking a name, typing a new name, and pressing the "Enter" button.

Find A Word ReviewLove it! - Version: 2.0.0, 11/22/2005 04:29AM PST

Right up there with my other puzzle/word/brain barbell games.
Totally addictive but..There is a weird glitch that resets it to a new came if you hit 'return' at the wrong moment, and that really sucks after you've kicked booty for three or four out the five turns.

Find A Word Troubleshooting ReportStuffit won't decompress - Version: 1.0.1, 9/30/2005 11:32AM PST

I think I'm going to like this, but a normal download with Safari (10.4.2) gives me the compressed findaword.sitx on my desktop, but it won't open. My error message reads: "Expander will not work without the Stuffit Engine." Could be my problem, but it's a first.
