3. The overall objective of this game is to spell as many words as you possibly can out of a given set of letters to earn points.

4. This game is fun because of all the different words that you can come up with out of a given set of letters. It’s exciting to test your knowledge and see how many words that you can come up with!

5. After you come up with a word, you are given points. The points accumulate throughout the game. Once you are finished playing the game, your score is then compared to other player’s scores and you are ranked accordingly.

7. You use the lettered keys on the keyboard to spell your words. You use the “Enter” key to submit your final spelled word. You can also use the backspace key to delete and the control key to move onto the next level.

8. To score well in Word Challenge, you need to spell as many words as possible out of your given set of letters. If you spell a word with 4, 5 or 6 letters you get more points.

9. In a way, word challenge is sort of like a classroom. Although it’s not in a reality setting, you are learning how to spell words just as you would in a real-life classroom. The game also motivates you to learn new words, since you get rewarded for your knowledge.

10. To improve the game’s educational value, I feel as though the game could provide a dictionary. That way, players could learn the different meanings and interpretations of the words that they are spelling.
