TOPIC TANGLE JR.:
GAME
OBJECTIVE
Topic Tangle is a
race against the clock as you try to discover the mystery
word that is related to the given topic.
GAME
PLAY
Click on PLAY to
begin Topic Tangle and then click on the blue SPIN
buttons. Once the topic is shown in green letters at the
top, a scrambled word or words will appear below on the
screen. You drag the letter tiles into the empty slots
below the scrambled word in order to find the mystery word
that relates to the present topic.
You have 2
minutes in which to
find the mystery word. The faster you can solve the word
the higher your points will be for that topic. When the
word is solved it will be removed from the board and the
points earned will be added to your score. The topics will
be spun automatically and you will continue until the
round is over.
HINTS
During game play you
will be shown letters from the mystery word. The first
letter of the mystery word will appear when 30
seconds have expired. The following letters appear at 30
second intervals. Only the first 3
letters of the word will appear because at the 2 minute
mark the topic will change and the mystery word will be considered UNSOLVED.
SPINNING
TOPICS
When the topic first appears you will not be able to use the SPIN button
until 30 seconds have expired. You then have the option to
skip the mystery word in order to save the unused time
points that are added to your score at the end of the
round. For each unused second 3 points will be added to
your score.
DOUBLE
BONUS WORDS
During the round one
of the mystery words will be randomly selected as a special
double bonus word. This means you will receive double the
points if you can unscramble the word.
SCORING
Scores are computed
by using the length of word and the seconds unused. Extra Time
Bonus points are
added for finding the word in under 30 seconds. 200
bonus points are given for finding the word in less that 10 seconds, 100
points in under 20 seconds and 75
points in under 30 seconds.
At the end of a round
all the words will be shown one by one and
the unused time points will be added to your score. You'll
get an additional 250
points for each word you solved.
TOP
TEN SCORE BOARD
If your score is in
the top ten scores for that length of game, you will be
asked to enter your name onto the scoreboard.
