The objective of WERDZ is to select letters from a "CHAIN" of bubble letters so that the selected letters spell a word. Only English words of three letters or more which are not proper nouns are not allowed.
As letters are selected they get added to a working word which is shown on the left of the screen. When the word is a valid word a submit buttons appears and the word can be submitted. When the word is submitted the letters disappear from the chain but the spaces left by the letters remain (there is a way to get rid of these spaces which we'll discover later)
The chain of bubble letters starts from the head of the chain, marked with a button with the text "Pop A Letter" on it, and head towards the end of the chain and a marker with the words "Game Over" on it. The game is over when a letter bubble touches the game over marker
The game is broken down into different levels and each requires a different number of words to be collected to be completed. Generally as the game goes on more words are required for each level but there are exceptions when some levels are more speed orientated.
If a word is submitted which contains seven or more letters then a "GOLD" bubble appears over a letter in the chain somewhere. Gold bubbles have two special functions: (1) they multiply the scoring value of any word they are used in by the amount shown in the bubble; (2) When they are used in a word they cause the chain of bubble letters to contract and all spaces are removed. For this reason they are very useful and can be used strategically to keep the bubble chain short.
Letters can be added into the chain at any time by clicking on the "Pop A Letter" button. This can be useful if the player has just got a long word and not many letters are left or on levels with multiple chains if one chain is very long and the other short. In this case popping letters into the short chain can improve the players chances of getting a longer word.
A good strategy is to either try to get words of seven or longer letters or take shorter words using letters from the head of the chain. Taking shorter words from letters in the middle of the chain will make the chain fragmented and leave big gaps in it thus making it much harder to get more words
Scoring is dependent on a number of factors that include:
Rarity of the letter
Length of the word - a word of 4 letters is worth twice as much as a word of 3 letters
Whether a gold letter is used and the value of the multiplier in the gold letter
The level the player is currently playing on
A score multiplier (shown in to the right of the score on the screen) increases each time a gold bubble letter is obtained. If a word is made which is less than seven letters long the multiplier gets set back to zero. So a good strategy for getting high scores is to keep getting words of seven letters or more.
