User guide
Word search puzzle
Solve the puzzles in the shortest time possible. There is a limited time of 10 minutes to look for words.
When you find a word on the board, press on the first or last letter with the stylus and drag to the other end of the word (the letters will change with color) to be removed from the list, moving to be highlighted on the board and adding a point to your score.
Customized Dictionary:
You can create dictionary by editing the sopas.txt. Each customized puzzle must not exceed 20 words and not have more than 15 characters.
sopas.txt has this format:
SOUP_START -> indicates the beginning of file * XxXxX -> Title of the puzzle + YyYyY -> First entry + BbBbB -> Second entry ... .. SOUP_END -> indicates the end of file
Sudoku
The game is to fill each box with a number, not to be repeated either in the same quadrant (3x3 and surrounded by red lines) or in vertical or horizontal direction on the board.
There is a ability to undo (and redo) all mediating movement functions Undo/Redo.
There is also a mechanism by which if incorrectly Sudoku is completed, it will use the Undo function so automatic, to go to the previous move to where we made the mistake (this is only done when all boxes are occupied by numbers).
2 levels of Sudoku are available: Easy and Hard.
The clock displays the minute yellow when above 10 minutes and red when exceeding 15.
