Product Description:

Find A Word is a word game. Each game has five turns; each turn has 30, 60 or 90 seconds, selectable by the player. At the start of each turn, the player is given three random vowels and five random consonants (Letter Pot letters). The goal is to make as many valid words as possible before the time runs out. A valid word is made from Letter Pot letters, is included in the 80,000+ dictionary, and is unique for that turn. Each word is worth ten points plus one point for each word letter. If 30 words are made in a turn, the turn is ended and an additional 200 bonus points are awarded.

The player can add to/subtract from the built-in dictionary; the revised dictionary is saved and loaded for the next session. The top ten game scores are saved. Sound is supported; sound may be turned on/off and this setting is saved between sessions. The game provides a link to a web site which can provide a list of all possible words that can be made from the Letter Pot letters.

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.
