WORDZEE is a VERY challenging letter-dice word game. The object of the game is
to fill all categories, in all games, and accumulate as many points as
possible by forming word(s) and letter combinations as defined in the scoring
section of the playing board.

In this game you roll the letter-dice, up to 3 times, until you have a hand
that fits into an open category on the game board. You are actually playing 3
games at one time. Each game is identified by the number at the top of the 3
columns in the scoring area of the playing board.

NOTE: In the 2 or 3 word formations, each letter can be used only ONCE and in
      only ONE word. You must use a space between words.

You will have the choice of selecting the category AND game to place the
points you have accumulated, based on the words or letter combinations rolled.
When deciding where to strategically place your points, bear in mind that
points are tripled if placed in the 3rd game, doubled if placed in the 2nd
game and actual points if placed in the 1st game.



All words formed will be checked against a dictionary. If the word(s) formed
are not found in the dictionary, they will be rejected. It is possible that
you will find words that should be in the dictionary. If you do, notify the
Sysop ask him/her to report them to the WORDZEE author (Al Lawrence), who in
turn will update the dictionary and publish a new one.

Amongst all the letters on the dice you will encounter ONE Wildcard. The
Wildcard will be represented by a question mark (?). The question mark (?) can
be used to complete a word or letter combination. You will be asked to input
the substitute letter and this letter will carry NO POINT VALUE. The question
mark (?) can be placed in the exact position that the substitution letter
will occupy OR you can actually substitute the letter when you enter the word.
(Ex: You can enter  LOS?   or  LOST

There are two (2) areas where you can earn BONUSes. The first area is the
UPPER scoring BONUS. In each game you will receive a 35 point bonus when the
scoring for that particular game exceeds 45 points. The second area is the
WORDZEE BONUS. You will receive a 100 point bonus for each WORDZEE (7-Letter
Word) you form after filling ALL the WORDZEE categories with either a score
of 0 or 50 points.



A SAVE feature is incorporated into the game and will be automatically invoked
when you quit the game. The next time you play the game your saved game will be
retrieved and play will continue from that point.
