For the Android application, the modified rules are:

  1. The game is for one player.
  2. When the game starts, a word is randomly chosen from predefined categories and displayed along with the category.
  3. The word/phrase is displayed with the letters hidden and the individual words separated for a phrase.
  4. The player “spins the wheel”. (A graphically spinning wheel is not required to be implemented this could simply be done by tapping a button and showing the result.)
  5. The possible results of the “spinning the wheel” are: a number of points e.g. 1000 or an “extra turn”, “miss turn” or “bankrupt”.
  6. In the event of a value being shown, a letter (consonant or vowel) is decided by the user (from a keyboard or otherwise). If the letter is present, the user’s points total is incremented by the value shown times the number of occurrences of the letter. The occurrences of the letter are revealed in the word. If the letter is not present, the user loses a “life”.
  7. In the event of “extra turn” being shown, the user is given an extra life.
  8. In the event of “miss turn” being shown, the user loses a life without being able to choose a letter.
  9. In the event of “bankrupt” being shown, the user loses all their points.
  10. The “wheel is spun” until the game is won or lost.
  11. The game is won when all the letters have been found and the user still has a life.
  12. The game is lost when the user has no lives left and the word has not been found.
  13. A user starts with 5 “lives”.

Get Started

To get started, simply run the app. Sometimes a rebuild/clean/invalidate cache is required before running the app.
