WORD SLIDE PUZZLES Version 4.0 UNIQUE and FASCINATING! Word Slide Puzzles is a series of Slide Puzzle Games that are colorful, entertaining and educational. Each move is counted and there is an on screen timer. There are options for time-out, reset the low-record scores, change colors of the puzzle frame, turn on/off the automatic-frame- changing colors after fifteen seconds, and to turn on/off the "celebrating". All necessary instructions can be accessed by pressing the F1 key, at anytime. Answers can be peeked at, one letter at a time, by pressing a function key. Penalty points are given for each peek. Each Registered Series of Puzzles comes with hundreds of different words and clues that are not on the Shareware Series, and anyone registering two or more Programs in the Series will receive the $25.00 Word Slide Puzzle Editor, FREE. The Editor allows the users to create puzzles using any words of their choice. There are Programs in the Series that give English clues and require either English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish word answers. Also, there are Programs in the Series that give either French, German, Italian, or Spanish clues and require English word answers. The Puzzles come in either 5 letter word versions (in a 3 x 2 grid) or 8 letter word versions (in a 3 x 3 grid). Each Puzzle Word is scrambled using a special method, and results in thousands of possible puzzles for each 8 letter word and hundreds of possible puzzles for each 5 letter word. Each puzzle is guaranteed to be solvable. A little bit of the scrambling is shown on screen for additional excitement. The object of the game is to match the answer to the clue and move the letters around in the grid until the player has spelled the correct answer. The computer will alert the player when the correct answer has been placed in its correct positioning inside the grid, and will alert the player when a new record has been set.
