Action Crossword for PC

324 squares... 3 dice... 218 letter tiles.
Gets your vocabulary going!

Adapted from the original ACTION CROSSWORD Solo crossword boardgame.
A single player sitting at a game board, forming words crossword style.

The Fun.....................To fill the board with words crossword style.
The Challenge...........To use up all the letters provided.

For each draw of letters, the computer rolls the dice, adds them up, and picks the equivalent amount of letters. Play your words then SUBMIT!
After each submit, the computer will return unplayed letters and draw fresh letters for your next play. Incorrect spelling or non-legit words are highlighted and rejected.

The game is played in 3 stages:
- Stage 1: Form 12 words around the board to create the skeleton of words for your game
- Stage 2: Play anywhere, forming new words crossword style with existing words on the board. You can only get a new draw of letters if you've played 50% or more of the current draw. Proceed to stage 3 once there is no more tiles in the bag.
- Stage 3: Make amendments to try to place the remaining tiles.

In order to make amendments, you'll need to spend Merit Points, which are accumulated during the course of Stage 1 and 2 by placing words of 7 letters or longer on the board. You can also get additional merit points by playing "difficult" letters, marked with a Red Star. Playing one of each J, Q, X and Z earns 4 Merit Points. Double use of any Red Star Letter also earns Merit Points.

The final score depends on how many tiles you have left in your hand at the end of the game - the less, the better!
