Word Wizard is a simple word guessing game, quite similar to Hangman.
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.
Categories
- Animals - commonly known animals, such as Parakeet, Gazelle, Beaver, Hippopotamus etc.( NOTE: Despite being a fictional animal, Waja is a word in this category.)
- Crayon Colors - the names of crayon colors. These can be simple (ex:Red, Green, Blue) or more complicated (ex:Azure, Carnation, Periwinkle)
- Food and Drink - Can be prepared foods/drinks (ex: Milkshake,Chowder,Hamburger) or raw foods (Potato, Strawberry, Mushroom)
- Materials- Includes words such as Cellophane, Concrete, Iron, and Fur.
- Action Words - Various verbs, such as Rest, Swimming, and Shimmer.
- Countries - The names of countries of the world, such as Cuba, India, and Japan.
Tips
- Don't just guess at random! More on this below.
- Your first few guesses should be vowels (A, E, I, O, U) as every word in the English language contains a vowel of some kind. Keep guessing vowels until you have one or two in your word.
- Your next guesses should be common consonants, such as M, N, T, and P.
- Once you have a fair foundation of a few letters you should begin thinking of words that would match them and fit in the category listed.
- The words that appear in this game are from a set list. Meaning that if a word shows up once there is a good chance it will show up again eventually.
Possible Glitches
Although the game's page states that "Some rounds are worth more than others", this isn't actually true. Each round is worth a maximum of 10,000 WC and a minimum of 3,000 WC (if you finish the word with 7 missed guesses).
Additionally, a few of the words are misspelled, such as omelet (misspelled in the game as "omlet")
