Object: Form words and collect points.
 
Click the board. Zillions will fill the board with 100 letters, randomly placed.
 
You can swap letters by clicking the from- and to- positions. The letter(s) just moved will turn red. You also can click a letter twice. This will mark a letter red. Marked letters cannot be clicked anymore.
 
The objective of this game is to build words, horizontally or vertically. Any other letters can be positioned before or after the word. Swaps may destroy some or all previous words.
 
To score, a word must have at least three letters. A word is only allowed to be scored if it has been created by the previous swap or if one of its letters has just been double clicked. Note that a double-click can give you two words, one down and one across. A swap can give you up to four words. The value of a Blank may change at every turn.
 
Now score by clicking each letter in the word(s) you made. Your final score will be calculated automatically. (For your own information: when you move the cursor over a letter, its value will appear in the Status bar.)
The validity of the words are not checked by the program; you are the judge.
 
The game ends when there are no more moves anymore or no more words can be built (this program does not declare a win).
 
Variant 2 has been designed with another objective in mind:
Following the rules above you try to turn red all letters. In each turn either a new word (at least 3 letters long) must be built or a letter in a yet unused word that is already on the board must be clicked. (Ignore the OK-button in this variant.)
There is no scoring. You win when all letters are red.

I encourage Scrabble players to try this version at home with real Scrabble letters. (Here the frozen letters my be turned sideways or upside down.) This game is very different from Scrabble and a totally new wordgame in itself. Luck comes in only at the board setup.
