Letter Twist

Game Description: Letter Twist is a fast-paced word game in which you try to unscramble words by swapping letters.

How to Play Letter Twist:

• Click the 'Play' button.
• There are two rows of letters.
• Each row of letters represents a word.
• Click on the letters to unscramble the words.
• Letters can only be moved up or down, but never sideways.
• The clock is at the upper left.
• Your energy is shown by the vertical tube on the right. It drains from top to bottom as your energy decreases.
• The fewer clicks you make, the higher you will score.
• Don't make too many clicks or you will lose energy.
• Solve all of the word scrambles before your energy is depleted to make it to the next level.
• Sometimes Letter Twist will show a brief advertisement after you successfully complete a level. When this occurs, wait for the ad to play. Then, click the 'Continue' button to play the next level.
• If time runs out, your energy starts to decrease very quickly.
• The game ends when all of your energy is gone.

Letter Twist Game Options:

• The game sounds may be turned on or off by clicking the microphone icon located at top.
• The music may be turned on or off by clicking the musical note icon also located at top.

Letter Twist Playing Tips:

• It is not necessary to figure out both of the words. In fact, there isn't time to do that. Try concentrating on just one of the words and ignore the other one. If you can figure out what one of the words will be, the other word will of course be automatically correct.
• Look for letter combinations that you know are correct. This can help you to start building words. For instance, if the first column shows the letters S and T; and the second column shows the letters A and T, you know that the T in the second column must be on the same row as the S in the first column because no word begins with the letters TT.
• Occasionally you may come up with two legitimate words but still not be correct. This is because even though your words are real words they just happen not to be the words that Letter Twist is "thinking" of. This does not happen very often but when it does happen you will, of course, need to form new words until you come up with the right ones.
• Listen for the warning sound when your energy is getting dangerously low. You will have to work fast!
• The more clicks you make, the faster your energy decreases. Try not to make too many random guesses unless, of course, you hear the warning sound and become desperate. Then, you may just have to just go for it. Sometimes, you can guess right and avoid disaster!

Richard's Rating: 4 out of 5.

Pro: Letter Twist is one of the better word games I have seen in quite sometime. If you enjoy word games, I think you will find that Letter Twist is an excellent game to play.

Con:

• There seems to be no way to pause the game. This game definitely could have used a pause button.
• It would have been a nice touch when you lose if Letter Twist would give you the right answer on the word scramble that stumped you. It doesn't. But, at least before you hit the 'Play Again' button the game does allow you to see your failed effort and you can look at it and try to figure out the correct solution yourself.
