Webster: the Word Game™

Pinpoint missing letters before each word hits rock bottom!

A fast-paced, easy-to-learn game of excitement, fun and learning, WEBSTER: THE WORD GAME encourages children as they begin to recognize familiar word forms and gives them a hand with their spelling, too! But WEBSTER: THE WORD GAME is not just for kids; seven degrees of speed and word complexity make it the perfect challenge for every member of the family!

You start with a word on top of the screen from which key letters have been deleted. As the word begins to fall, use a Joystick or the keyboard to move your computer-animated hand across the on-screen alphabet, stopping when you think you've put your finger on one of the missing letters. A press of a button or the space bar lets you know if you're right or wrong. If you complete the word before it hits bottom, you score points and move on to the next challenging word!

With bright, colorful graphics and sounds, WEBSTER: THE WORD GAME players have fun while recognizing letter patterns and sequencing. Play starts off with three and four letter words and gradually progresses to six letter words. Hints provide help when time grows short and "Demon Words" appear at random to challenge the best spellers and give extra point incentive. And experienced players benefit by being able to enter the game at any of the first six levels!

**Features:

• Seven Skill Levels** - Words increase on speed of descent as players progress from one-syllable words to more complex word formations.

• Over 700 Different Words - No two word challenges are ever the same since missing letters are randomly designated at time of play.

• 1 or 2 Player Capacity - Players may choose to begin the game at their own skill level.

• Demon Words - Appear at random in levels 2 through 6 to challenge the best spellers and award bonus points. Level 7 is made up entirely of Demon Words for the ultimate test.

• Optional Demonstration Level • Joystick or Keyboard Controls • Colorful, Lively Graphics and Sounds • Limited 90-Day Warranty Developed and programmed by Sue and Julio Kaplan
