Create as many words as possible from a grid of letters, with a dictionary checking your input. Multiplayer mode allows comparison of words over the internet. Game settings can be adjusted for grid size and game length.
Word Shark is a word finding game that challenges players to race against time to create as many words as possible from a grid of letters. The game includes a local dictionary that checks words ranging from 3-8 letters long as you input them on the keypad.
In single player mode, players strive to find as many words as possible from the grid of letters before the time runs out. In multiplayer mode, players are given the same set of letters and the same time period to locate words. After the last turn is played, a summary is shown for all players and word lists are displayed, allowing players to compare words and discover ones that they may have missed.
Players also have the ability to adjust the grid size, the game length and number of rounds per game to their desired difficulty level. This game is designed for people who love puzzles and enjoy a good challenge, with adults being able to play for hours on end. Word Shark can also serve as a great tool for kids to learn new words and hone their vocabulary skills.
To create words, players hit letter buttons in sequence to spell out the desired word. Each button pressed must connect either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to the previous button. The game's dictionary then looks up the sequence of letters and if it finds a matching word, it adds it to the list on the right and erases the highlighted buttons. Plurals are also accepted, allowing players to score multiple times for a single set of letters.
Players should also look out for letters that can create words when used forwards or backwards. For example, TAB and BAT can each be used to create two separate words, leading to more scoring opportunities. If a player misspells a word, they can erase the entire word and start again by pressing the clear button, or use the backspace button to remove the last button typed. Overall, Word Shark offers a fun and challenging way to put your vocabulary skills to the test.
