-
You and the computer will take turns producing a letter.
-
The object of the game is to make your opponent spell a word.
-
For the round to end, the word that a player spells must be at least four characters long.
-
You must be actively spelling a word when you enter a letter, but if you spell a word, then you lose the round.
For example, say that the current word is "COMPOSIT", you could enter "E" for "COMPOSITE", or "I" for "COMPOSITING",
but entering "Z" is not allowed because there are no words that begin with "COMPOSITZ".
-
Once either player spells a word, they lose the round. For example, entering "T" when the current state of the word is "GHOS"
will cause the player to lose the round.
-
The game is structured like the basketball game HORSE. Each round, whoever loses will receive a letter, and once your letters
spell GHOST, you lose.
-
There is a 1 minute timer for you to choose your letter.
-
If the letter you choose creates a word that is not found in our dictionary, then you will have to enter a different letter.
-
If you toggle Hard Mode, the computer will always try to spell a word that will make you lose. In addition, you only have 30 seconds
instead of 60.
