Detailed Instructions

Objective

The objective in Word Wow Seasons is to clear a path for the worm to reach the bottom of the screen. As you make words, the letter blocks disappear creating an open path for Worm.

How to Make Words

Just start tapping letters! You can choose any letter on the screen to make words. They do not need to be next to each other...if you can see the letter, you can use it. Keep in mind that the Word Wow Seasons dictionary is based on the Scrabble dictionary. Words that are hyphenated, capitalized (proper nouns including names and places), or apostrophized are not allowed. Your letters will appear on the submit bar on the bottom dashboard. Incomplete and invalid words will appear red. You can clear a misspelled or invalid word by tapping the submit bar. Valid words will appear green. Submit them by tapping the submit bar. Tip: In French all accents have been removed for ease of play.

Gems

Each level has hidden gems! There is at least one gem FRAGMENT in each level. You need to collect all the Gem Fragments on a level to earn the full GEM. You will need to find and use the gem fragment tiles in a word in order to collect them. When you earn a gem fragment by making a word, you still have to complete the level to keep it. If you fail then the gem fragment will still be available the next time you play the level for you to try again.

If you collect all gems, on all levels, in any given world you will unlock a secret bonus level!

Gem Tile

Stars

You have the opportunity to earn up to 3 stars on each level. Stars are optional and not required to advance to the next level. Earning stars is done by making longer words with rare letters (Q, X, Z etc.) or by making words in rapid succession. If you continuously make words quickly you can increase the multiplier up to 10X. This is a really fast way of earning "star points"! See the "Scoring" section below for more detailed scoring information.

Wick

The wick is your timer during game play. You will find it on the right side of the play screen. The wick ignites when you start the level. If the wick reaches the ground before the worm, it's game over. If you beat the wick to the bottom you win!

Bombs

Booster bombs are used to blast away letters helping to clear a path for the worm. They appear on the bottom right, in the dashboard. If you need some help, drag a bomb onto the screen and release it on top of the letters you'd like to destroy. You'll start off the game with a few bombs to try and can earn additional bombs by using a bomb tile in a word. Bomb tiles have a small black bomb in the upper right-hand corner. You may also purchase additional bombs from the pause menu.

Bomb tile

Using these tiles in a word will add 1 bomb to your inventory that you can use at any time.

Shuffle Booster

If you want to change the letters on the screen, drag one of these shuffles onto the tiles and release. This will exchange all of the visible letter tiles with new letters. Tiles that have vines on them will not be shuffled.

Shuffle tile

Using these tiles in a word will add 1 shuffle to your inventory that you can use at any time.

3 Letter Words

There are a limited number of 3 letter words that you are allowed to make on each level, so use them wisely! They are represented by the dots on your bottom dashboard. Each dot allows you to make one 3 letter word. If you run out of 3 letter words, the game will no longer accept them and you'll have to make longer words to finish that level.

Use this to earn an addition 3 letter word

WORD WOW Scoring
