DoDaWord - Game Help

General

The idea of the game is to make words from the tiles that fall down from the top.
  • 1. Click some tiles that you believe make a word. The selected tiles become green. The order the tiles are selected defines the order of the word. You must select at least two tiles to make a word.
  • 2. Click the word button. If the tiles m a valid a word you get points and the tiles are removed from the game board. If not your tiles are unselected.
  • 3. Now you can start selecting again to make another word.

Game end

The game ends when you can't make any new word before one of the tiles touches the bottom of the game screen.

Game levels

Each level lasts for one minute. When the next level starts, the speed of the tiles falling down is increased. If level 7 is completed speed goes back to same as level 1, but requiring at least 3 letter long words. If level 14 is completed speed goes back to same as level 1, but requiring at least 4 letter long words. ...
