The goal of WordPop! is to clear all the letters from the board by making
words. To start a new game, tap Easy, Medium, or Hard.
To make a word, tap adjoining Letter Tiles, then tap the Check button. If
the word is accepted, those letters disappear from the board.
Commonly used words -- including nouns, verbs (all tenses and gerunds),
adjectives, adverbs, etc. -- are accepted. Hyphenated words, abbreviations,
contractions, acronyms, and words that require capitalization are not
accepted.
Words are scored based on each letter's point value and the number of
letters in the word. In general, longer words are worth more points.
High-scoring words earn random Bonus Tiles, displayed in the bin on the
right. Blank Bonus Tiles can be used as any letter.
To place a Bonus Tile, tap it and then tap an empty square on the board.
Then simply tap tiles to make a word as usual.
Easy level begins with three blank Bonus Tiles. You earn an additional
blank Bonus Tile each time you clear the board. Medium level starts with
one blank Bonus Tile. You earn an additional random Bonus Tile each time
you clear the board. Hard level starts with no Bonus Tiles--you have to
earn them!
To shake things up and see some new letter combinations, tap the Rotate
button. The board turns a quarter-turn clockwise.
To end your current game, tap the X button or choose New Game from the Game
Menu. (To display the Game Menu, tap near the top of the screen.)
