WORDWIZ
*****************************************************************

Wordwiz is a word recognition and spelling aid game. Aimed at
pre-teens, Wordwiz allows the player to guess a jumbled word, or
anagram. Each player can take a stab at 5 jumbled words, building
points as he/she goes along.

Teacher/Parent: You may build a specialized vocabulary by adding to
the dictionary. Wordwiz will let you start a new dictionary where
you may add your own words. It's an ideal way to help the kids with
their homework!

how to play...

jumbled word is provided. Type your guess and click on ACCEPT.
WORDWIZ awards 7 points per letter if you guess correctly.

Scores box.

DEAL A FORTUNE
*****************************************************************

Another word recognition game from WordSmith. The object is to
guess letters and recognize a word up to nine letters long.
Designed for two players, the game presents a series of blocks
filled with question marks. As well, a cryptic clue gets everyone
thinking.

Players may buy letters. Or a guess may be in order. Each player
starts with $500 and the object is to win money.
Teacher/Parent: This is ideal for review-type situations, typically
words learned a long time ago. As a student  plays, the spelling
and, as well, a definition of a word is a hidden goal of the game.
Teachers and parents have the option of erasing the dictionary
provided and adding both words and clues from class curriculum.

Older kid: If you want to use Deal a Fortune, try our more
difficult dictionary. From the Kidware directory in DOS, type
HARDFORT and press ENTER. From the Windows File Manager, double
click on HARDFORT.BAT. This renames the difficult dictionary. If
you want to reset the dictionary, run EASYFORT.BAT from DOS or File
Manager.

To customize the dictionary, run a program called ADD-FORT.EXE.  It
may be installed as Add to Fortune. You have a two-field window
open. Type the word in the top field and the cryptic clue below.
Click on Add to insert the items in the dictionary. 
If you want to start a custom list, you may delete the dictionary
from the drop down menu. This file is called FORTUNE.DAT and you
may start a new one from Add to Fortune. This is particularly
useful if customizing Deal a Fortune for classroom learning.

NUMERO
*****************************************************************

A rendition of a game that comes with OS2. All you have to do is
line up the numbers in the correct order. 

The trick to Numero is finding a pattern that won't leave the user
with 14, 15, 13 on the last line and players are urged to look for
that pattern from the beginning of the game.
