User guide

Word search puzzle

Solve the puzzles in the shortest time possible. There is a limited time of 10 minutes to look for words.

When you find a word on the board, press on the first or last letter with the stylus and drag to the other end of the word (the letters will change with color) to be removed from the list, moving to be highlighted on the board and adding a point to your score.

Customized Dictionary

You can create dictionary by editing the sopas.txt. Each customized puzzle must not exceed 20 words and not have more than 15 characters. sopas.txt should have this format:

SOUP_START -> indicates the beginning of file
* XxXxX -> Title of the puzzle
+ YyYyY -> First entry
+ BbBbB -> Second entry
...
..
SOUP_END -> indicates the end of file

Sudoku

The game is to fill each box with a number, not to be repeated either in the same quadrant (3x3 and surrounded by red lines) or in vertical or horizontal direction on the board.

You can choose between Easy and Hard mode. Both have an undo/redo feature, as well as an automatic checking mechanism which will undo the incorrect steps after a Sudoku puzzle is completed. The clock displays the minute yellow when above 10 minutes and red when exceeding 15.
