	Gameplay Word Racer tends to move pretty quickly. To create a table, use the "Create Table" button. Once you have created your own table, click the "Start" button. You can start a game even if you are the only one at the table. Once you have clicked the "Start" button, the first round will start. If you choose to join a game already in progress by using the "Join" button, you start playing the game immediately. Once you have started playing Word Racer, you can input words you find in the grid in the box labeled "Type word:" Once you have typed in the word, press the Enter key or click the submit button. If another player has not already found the word you will get credit for finding it. The point value will then be added to your score. The word must be at least three letters long. The longer the word, the more points it's worth. See the scoring section for more details. Word Racer uses word checking from dictionary.com. If you spell a word that is not recognized by the word checker, it will not count as a valid word. Word Racer displays the picture icons and names of all the players at the table. On the left side of the grid the game will show your current score, as well as the scores of the other players. The player with the most points will be at the top of the list. As you gain more points, your name will slide toward the top of the list. Next: Scoring	Enter words you findin the grid into the "type word" box.
