Scoring

To end a game:

When a player just put his last letter(s). Enter his normal score (JUST for his last word). Select "Negative" (toggle to).

FOR EACH PLAYER WITH LETTERS: One after the other. Enter the letter-sum and "OK". Select "Negative" (toggle back).

FOR THE PLAYER WITH NO MORE LETTERS: Enter the letter-sum of all remaining letters, and "ok".

Total is updated accordingly to reflect final scores. Please note that user CANNOT really "end" a game. Simply read the score, say who wins, and start a new one.

Who's starting:

Player 'A' will ALWAYS start without player-naming options. User has to track yourself who's who, such as: Betty is 'A', Joe is 'B', Sue is 'C' and so on.

Search function

To lock/unlock the Search function:

Press and hold 'R' button.

Press any button combination EXCEPT 'L' and the Touchscreen. Remember it, this is your "key" to unlock the function back.

Validate your combination by pressing 'L'. To unlock, repeat the three points above.

Check function

To lock/unlock the Check function:

Press and hold 'L' button.

Press any button combination EXCEPT 'R' and the Touchscreen. Remember it, this is your "key" to unlock the function back.

Validate your combination by pressing 'R'. To unlock, repeat the three points above.

Search & Check key-combinations

Add "pressing the touchscreen" to combination to lock the corresponding function permanently. This way, only a reboot will re-enable the function. No need of a tricky combination, don't worry it can't come back. Example:

Lock Check permanently: Hold 'L' AND hold the pen down on the touch-screen, press 'R'. Check is locked forever.

Lock Search permanently: Hold 'R' AND hold the pen down on the touch-screen, press 'L'. Search is locked forever.

Memory hint on which key to hold:

Check is on the left-hand side, so hold 'L'

Search is on the right-hand side, so hold 'R'
