About the Game

WordMaster is a simple word making game. A round lasts 1 minute with 7 randomly selected letters (with at least a single vowel among them). You score points by creating long words or by using letters that are used less frequently in English. You may repeat letters within a word. The trailer shows exactly what the game is and takes you through a full round, post game, and leaderboard update.

For example:

Suppose our round letters are W I N E R S L. We could spell wines, winners, sewers, sinners etc.

Here is a breakdown of the scoring:
Letter points:
AEIOULNSTR = 1 pt
DG = 2 pts
BCMP = 3 pts
FHVWY = 4 pts
K = 5 pts
JX = 8 pts
QZ = 10 pts

Word length:
3 letters = 1 pt
4 letters = 2 pts
5 letters = 3 pts
6 letters = 5 pts
7 letters = 8 pts
8 or more letters = 10 pts

This is my first attempt at coding. I'm a teacher and wanted something my students could play that would be somewhat educational.
