Description

Word Zap is a word construction puzzle game originally created by Michael F.C. Crick. Using a selection of letters on the left, a number of words with a fixed or maximum length on the right need to be created. Letters are selected directly to move them to the right.

In the main WordZap mode a word is "zapped" from both player's racks when someone has found it. A round ends when either one player fills the word rack, or time runs out without either player being able to make another word. The game mode can either be played with a "next letter" or "any letter" mode, both solo and in two-player multiplayer. In the WordHai mode 21 letters are provided to create seven three-letter words. It can be played in the variants Challenge Play, Free Play and Timed Turns.
