How to play
A common five-letter word is hidden (never a plain plural or past tense like ACRES or ASKED). The board of six rows is at the left and the alphabet at the right; the letter under the cursor is underlined. A / B move the cursor round the alphabet in reading order, C types its letter into the row, D takes the last one back. With five letters in, C tries the word: it must be in the word list (the English words of Word Shake), otherwise NOT A WORD shows, the row stays to be changed and it does not count. Then each letter is marked: a dark tile is the right letter in the right place, a ring is a letter in the word but in another place, and a plain letter is not in the word (a letter guessed twice is only marked as often as it is in the word). Find the word within six guesses to win (WIN); otherwise LOSE and the word are shown. Either stays on the screen until you press a button. The fewer guesses the better: the sixth is OK, the fifth GOOD, the fourth or third GREAT, the second FANTASTIC and the first PERFECT. Points by how few guesses it took.
