Feed the bookworm's endless apetite with words formed by connecting adjoining letter tiles. Use up any burning letters before they reach the bottom to prevent the library setting on fire. A superb word game for beginners and experts alike and a fine way to increase your vocabulary. BookWorm Features
Introduction
Use an extractor program such as WinZip on the PC or Stuffit
Expander on the Mac to get at the BookWorm for Palm files.
Install the game by double-clicking the prc file. Use the HotSync button as usual to install the game onto your
handheld. If you have a handheld with an expansion card, you may move the game
over to it. Do this before you register the game! Now run
BookWorm for Palm and tap the screen to play the game! If you've got any queries about
BookWorm for Palm or the registration process, first
check out our knowledge base
on our website (you must be connected to the
internet to access this). If this doesn't help, get in touch with us at
support@astraware.com.
If you've got any questions (or suggestions, we love those) about the game
itself, please get in touch with us at the email address at the top of this
page.
Simply connect letters that are touching into chains that form a word. Make words between 3 and 8 letters long and then feed them to the hungry bookworm.
Making longer words will give you bonus tiles that are worth more points. Beware the burning tiles! They will burn through the tile below each time you feed the bookworm. When they reach the bottom the game is over and the library will be set on fire. You can use the burning tiles in your word to get rid of them.
You can either tap each letter in turn and then tap the last letter twice to submit a word or you can drag the stylus across the letters and release to submit a word. Tapping on the bookworm will shuffle the tiles but beware, all bonus tiles gained so far will be lost and some red tiles will appear.
If you access the Game settings menu you will have the option to show or hide the letter points and the glow effects. The letter points are the points that each letter is worth and is displayed on the bottom right of the tiles. The glow effects may slow the game down on some machines and can be turned off to increase performance.
Try to get long words, there is no time limit and words longer than 5 letters will be rewarded with a gold super bonus tile. Collect a few of these bonus tiles and use them all in one word for massive scores. sometimes you'll have to settle for the three letter words when you need to get rid of a burnig tile.
Try to group common endings together like 'ing' and 'tion' you'll surely be able to make a starter with a bit of effort and youll soon have some eight letter words to submit.
Try to get the bonus word, You'll get 500 times the number of bonus words you have made for each one, so if you get 9 bonus words, the 10th will be worth 5000
