M A N G L E (tm) Version 1.0 Copyright 1990, 1991 Eric Balkan
Can you look at a word or phrase, reshuffle the letters and find all of
the smaller words contained within it? That's the object of MANGLE.
For instance, the word "INCREDIBLY" contains BIND, BINDER, CINDER,
BLED, BLIND, etc. It does NOT contain BLAND (no A), BLEED (only 1 E) or
BIRDLY (not a word). Also, words must be 4-12 letters, so BIN is not
legal. Words requiring punctuation or mixed case, like proper names, are
also not legal.
MANGLE will begin by telling you how many words can be obtained from
the puzzle word. Each legal word that you key in will earn you points. If
MANGLE says the word is not legal, use the backspace key to correct it.
(There's no penalty for guessing.)
At the end of play, you'll be able to compare your total point score
against other players to see how you stack up. (For practice round(s)
without showing your score publicly, press '@' anytime after play starts.)
You'll have 8 minutes to key in as many words as you can -- or press Esc to
quit sooner. For hints while playing -- only in practice rounds -- key in
one or more letters and press '#'.
Now Press any key to proceed...
