How
to Play The Great Wall of Words
|
Game
Overview
Create words by
linking adjacent letter squares together.
You will receive points for every letter in
the word, and for the overall length of the
word.
The number of dots on a letter tile shows
how much they are worth, the more dots, the
higher the value.
Words longer than 5 letters will be awarded
a multiplier, the longer the word, the larger
the multiplier.
Tip: Find a word of 8 letters to get a
whopping 10,000 point bonus!
Each round you play will have a target you
have to reach, this will very depending on
the game type, but you will always reach it
by finding words.
Controls
Left-Click each
letter tile in turn, once the word is ready
you can either hit the 'submit' button, press
the middle mouse button, or press the space
bar.
Tip: Using the middle
mouse button is faster.

Bomb Tiles
Bomb tiles will explode and give you the points
from all the surrounding letter tiles which
they destroy.
To detonate a bomb, you must create 3 words
using letter tiles next to them. You will know
when a bomb is about to explode as their fuse
will begin to burn.
Tip: Use bombs to get rid
of hard letters, like Q's and Z's |

Different Game types
There are 4 different game types in The Great Wall of Words:
Score Target - At the beginning of the round
you are given a target score, you must accumulate enough points to reach that
target by matching as many words as you can in the time given.
Tip: Always go for longer words, an 8 letter word can give you
a quick win.
Time Attack - Instead of adding to your score, points are converted into
seconds and added onto your timer. You can only win by getting enough
extra seconds to fill the timer bar right up.
Conquest - Any letter tiles which are used in a word
become 'captured'. Captured tiles are shaded in red. The only way of winning a conquest
round is to capture enough tiles on the board, this is shown as a target percentage.
Tip: You can use tiles you have already captured to form words.
Word Search - At the beginning of the round, you are
given a target word to find. You must do whatever it takes to create that word on the
grid, this may mean clearing lots of other words in order to get the letters you want
in the correct place.
Tip: Make good use of wildcard tiles in Word Search mode.
