Playing Microsoft Wordament: A Quick Overview

At the beginning of each round, you will be presented with a board consisting of 16 tiles (4×4), each containing either a single (e.g. “A”) or double letter (e.g. “Qu”). Each letter is assigned a point value ranging from 1 – 10. Start searching the board for words in the puzzle. A word consists of any connected sequence of letters, in any direction, but you may not use a single tile more than once for a single word.

Notable Features

To add a word to your word list, touch the first tile of the word and proceed to drag your finger across the board touching each connected tile, one at a time, spelling out a word. When you have completed a word, lift your finger off the last tile. As you pass over each tile it will highlight and you will see the word you are building shown above the game board.
