Welcome to Whack-A-Word, the exciting fast-paced word recognition game! The rules are simple. If it's a word, whack it! One by one "words" appear on the screen. Some of them are real words, but others are fakes. If you can whack the real ones and eliminate the fakes, you win! But each time you make a mistake, your word remains stuck on the screen. As the game goes on, the words come faster and the mistakes start piling up. Finally, the game ends when there's no room for a new word to appear. Whack-A-Word chooses its words from a 200,000-word dictionary, and offers you a choice of 3 different methods for generating its fakes. The standard game goes on forever (sort of like Tetris), but you can also play with a time limit, play until you reach a target number of words, or play a Round Robin Tour of several games and try to get the highest cumulative score. Whack-A-Word version 1.0 includes nine different built-in variations, plus the ability to customize your own rules and difficulty settings. It has optional sound effects, configurable font and color schemes, and a high score list to track your top 10 games. Download your copy of Whack-A-Word today!

You are free to give away complete, unmodified copies of the program and its files as long as you do NOT receive money or other consideration for it. You are also free to try the game yourself 45 times before you buy it. But at the end of the evaluation period, you are required to make a decision: either delete it from your computer, or register it by sending a license & registration fee of $7 to the author. Of course, nothing disatrous is going to happen if you fail to register your copy of Whack-A-Word. But some good things will happen if you do! For instance, the 45 game limit will be removed, and the shareware reminders (with their 10 second countdown timers) will go away. You'll also be entitled to free upgrades to future versions of Whack-A-Word. Not to mention the peace of mind you'll experience from knowing that you've done the right thing. Whack-A-Word only costs $7 -- that's less than the price of a pizza nowadays! But your contribution to the "pizza fund" will help me continue to write and improve shareware games like Whack-A-Word. It helps pay for the Whack-A-Word web site (http://www.haversack.com/whackaword). And it also gives you a chance to give me feedback and make suggestions for the game. You want all this, don't you?
