Some observations
By Kostya on
Thu, May 9, 2013 12:59 AM EDT
I got to just over 1000000 points and gave up, which added up to about 200 rounds. The following are things noted over and over again:
1) Rare letters hardly ever appear: there was never an x, z, or j, for instance. This could be because including such a letter would reduce the number of words below the 35 that fit on the screen.
2) Common letters are overrepresented (the counterpart of 1)).
3) As a result of 2), some combinations of letters (stale, rates, spare, prate, art, ate, tar, spiel, prate come to mind) appear very often.
4) The game is rather permissive when it comes to allowing words: ret, tae, pater, lea, curns, tare, tares, among others, were accepted.
5) As a result of 3) and 4), there are many recurring 3-, 4-, and 5- letter combinations that generate three or more words of that length (and the longer combinations often have a slew of words as subsets of their letters).
6) Recognition of patterns allows rapid-fire typing of the words generated by these combinations. They often fill the majority of the 3- and 4- letter blocks.
7) The game shows whether a sequence of letters is recognized as a word or not, and whether it was already found. This allows typing in a word, and then adding one letter to see if it remains a word, and if not, pressing Backspace and Enter to submit the original word.
8) Related to 7), when typing a longer word, sometimes one notices that the shorter words from the start of this word, by seeing the word indicator turn green until the next letter is typed in.
9) Typos surprisingly often help, due to 4) and 7); often, a typo often accidentally generates a sequence of letters that the game recognizes as a word and the game tells this before any submission attempt.
10) It helps to type in a bonus word (such as eat or heart) to gain a few extra seconds to think (while the "you found a bonus word" screen shows up.
11) Typos (as in 9)) and the effect of 10) only show up due to the very fast pace of the game; this is also why 6) has such an effect.0 of 0 people found this review helpful-

You can click as fast as you want, the game doesn't recognize that you've clicked on a letter & wastes your time as you try to re-enter the word. Disappointing. :-(0 of 0 people found this review helpful-
