 '''Word Wizard''' is a simple word guessing game, quite similar to Hangman.  Each day you can play 4 times for free, then an additional 8 times for 500 WC per play for a maximum of 12 plays per day.
-Each game you are presented with a number of blanks equal to the number of letters in the word you're trying to guess, as well as a general category into which the word fits. The goal is to figure out what the word is by guessing letters (done by clicking the letters in the boxes under the blanks).  You start with a wining pot of 10,000 WC.  Each time you guess a letter that exists in the word, the blanks that contain that letter will be filled.  When you guess a letter that is not present in the word, you will receive the message saying that the letter was not found and 1,000 WC will be subtracted from the winning pot.  Completing the word without guessing a single wrong letter will win you the full 10,000 WC.

The goal is to figure out what the word is by guessing letters (done by clicking the letters in the boxes under the blanks).  You start with a winning pot of 3,000 WC times the number of letters in the word (ex: "Red" = 9,000 WC, "Hippopotamus" = 36,000 WC, etc.). Each time you guess a letter that exists in the word, the blanks that contain that letter will be filled. When you guess a letter that is not present in the word, you will receive the message saying that the letter was not found and 1,000 WC will be subtracted from the winning pot. Completing the word without guessing a single wrong letter will win you the full starting winning pot amount for that word.
