How fast can you spot a word in a sea of
letters? You can test your speed in Kilmist WordSearch game.
Developed by Kilmist, WordSearch is an old fashioned word
puzzle game that will get you hooked for hours.
In Kilmist WordSearch, you're given a list
of words that you'll look for in a grid of letters. You know,
the same kind of game you probably played in the newspaper
puzzle section or in a book of word puzzles where you find
the hidden words. Even though there are 3 difficulty levels
in the game, you could play just one level over and over
again, and still feel the challenge because the letter grid
is generated randomly on the fly. The words go in horizontal
(left to right and vice versa), vertical (top to bottom and
vice versa) and diagonal (left to right and vice versa, top
to bottom and vice versa). If you are one of those people
can recognize words by glancing at the letters, you will
crank up the score very fast because the score is measured
by how fast you can spot the words. And if you play multiple
levels, you can build your score on your previous games.
If you feel the given words aren't your
rap, you can also make custom games by entering your own
words or add new words to the list as well. You can play
in two-player mode where one player enters 5, 7 or 9 words
and the words are embedded in the grid of randomly generated
letters and the other player has to find them.
The interface of this game is simple but
intuitive with embedded help files. The game files are very
small and can run nicely from a CF card.
Playing Hints and Tips
Don't cross your eyes when you play
this game. If your having trouble finding a word, here's

ANY of the adjacent letters. The rest is easy! |
