DESCRIPTION
WordOMatic is a Word Search game with elements of puzzle and strategy. Rearrange letters to form words which are replaced with fresh letters. As letters grow old, they change colour. The object of the game is to use all available letters before they they become void. This is an original game belonging to the Word Search genre which includes games like Scrabble, Boggle and Jumble as well as modern PC games like Bookworm and Text Twist. This is one of the easiest games to learn and play. The game knows over forty thousand words from three to six letters. Players are encouraged to use words that contain a wide variety of letters. Bonus points are given for using longer words, and for avoiding repeated words. WordOMatic knows more than eight hundred words containing the letter X. How many do you know? Maybe it is time to learn learn some more!

    Ditto.

    G4 Quicksilver under 10.4.8.

    Eats about 40% of my CPU power but shows only as a black window and a single menu.

    Downloaded a fresh copy from the web site. Although a version wasn't specified, it ran.

    Within the program it said version 1.2.3.

    Typical odd behavior of this developer.

    ANONYMOUS  All Shoecake games seem to have the same mouse bug. (recently got a new mouse and it's still there)

    Sometimes when clicking and quickly dragging, the software reacts as if the button has been let up.

    PRAGMATIC  Junk the stuffit file!

    Make the download a .zip or .dmg. Allume stinks and stuffit files are a pain now that expander isn't packaged with the OS!

    FLARCH  Very unique fun game.

    I have a few reservations, however.

    1. Too many J's, V's, and Z's, and too few E's tend to make the game become repetitive quickly since those aren't exactly easy letters to use.

    2. The same grid of letters seems to begin many games in a row.

    3. Many groups of letters which score aren't actual English words (or must be very obscure).

    Could use more interesting sounds. Might get it if it were tweaked a bit.

    NLG  I bought WordOMatic from shoecake games, was charged for it and never received the passcode despite three e-mails to the company. They haven't responded to any e-mail to date. I'm wondering if they are still in business. They had no trouble charging my credit card, however.

    CAP'N HACK  This game is good simple fun, worth the download.

    I think it could have more options tho, stuff like larger board sizes or options for turning off effects (the OSX build is a terrible processor hog). Also, the word list seems a little strange. I came up with many three letter words that werent real words or were in another language, such as French.

    Despite its problems, this game is entertaining.
