WORD SLIDE X16Play the internet's favorite word game on the Commander X16!
Controls: Keyboard only.
Object: Guess a five-letter word within six tries.
Gameplay: Type the word you are guessing and press Enter/Return. Any letters that are in the correct position are highlighted green. If a letter is in the word in a different position, it's highlighted yellow. Letters that are not in the word are eliminated from the keyboard visualization at the bottom. You get a random word from the list every time you play. You may only guess other words that are on the list. If you make a guess that isn't on the list, it will be rejected and you can try again without losing that chance. After each game, press Y if you want to guess another word, or N to return to the BASIC prompt.
Current Version: 0.4 Beta
