Word Freak is the digital version of the traditional 'find the hidden words' game, in which you have to find certain words from a field of letters. To 'find' a word, you have to click on the starting letter, hold the left mouse button and drag your mouse along every subsequent letters until the word is formed. The direction of the drag can be from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top or even diagonally. There is a time limit to find each word and once you clear a level, you will start the next level with one additional word.
If you select a sequence of letters which does not form any of the words in the list, it will be recorded as Mistakes and if you failed to find one or more words in the list within the given time, it will be recorded as a miss and the game advance to the next level. The number of words that you have found will be compared to the number of words that have been listed to get your percent rating.
Each time you get a word correct, some extra time will be added to the timer. After you missed, you will find that your time in the next level severely short and you have to really hurry and find a word so that you can breath easily. If you still miss, the next starting timer will be even shorter and when the starting timer is 3 seconds and you still miss (of course), the game is over |
