Word Twist shareware game

A shareware title to pass the time between incredibly important work-related projects.

Word Twist tasks you with solving a Wheel-of-Fortune-style puzzle by building words on the Boggle-like game board. You click the letters to make a word, and if the first letter of that word also appears in the puzzle, that letter will show up. You get 20 tries per round to uncover enough letters to solve the puzzle. Regular mode is 10 rounds, Quick mode is half that, and you can customize the board size, number of rounds, and puzzle categories in Free mode. Sound a little boring? If you’re not a huge fan of word games, it totally is. On the other hand, true fans of the genre will be appalled at the lack of keyboard controls—mouse-clicks only.

THE BOTTOM LINE
