wurdz*beta

This beta version of wurdz* is available free for anyone who wishes to try it. It is not fully featured in that there is no high score list, and that a two player aspect has not been implemented. If you have enjoyed playing this game, please send an email and tell me so. Tell me what you liked, disliked, any bugs you may have found and what you would like to see in the future. If an idea or bug report is sent that is used in the final release of wurdz*, credit and a free copy of the final product will be given to the author.

wurdz*, a new word game exclusively for Mac OS X features two great modes of play - *classic and *switch.

*classic - Fans of Boggle will enjoy this mode. Find as many wurdz of three letters or more as you can in the three minute limit. Letters can be connected in any direction - simply find a word and press the checkmark. If the word is valid and hasn't been already used, it will appear in the word list and points will be added to your score. The bigger the word, the higher the points. Uncommon letters (such as 'z' or 'qu') will also help to increase your score. Watch the timer carefully - when all the lights go out, the game is over!

*switch - At first glance, *switch might seem a little easy. The same rules as *classic apply, except now, there is no time limit. There is a catch, however... when you submit a word, the letters used by that word are switched with new ones.
