How to play

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.
Maker’s note
Diagonals count and dragging back un-picks a tile. Letters score by rarity, longer words earn a length bonus, and one tile on each board doubles the word. Boards come from a seed, with at least 28 words on each.
