How to play:
The object is to guess the mystery five letter word. Your guesses will float to the top if they are too “high” alphabetically, and they will float to the bottom if they are too “low” alphabetically. (You can hit the enter key after each guess.) A bonus multiplier is applied to your score if you solve the word quickly. There are five words to guess in a game, and there are no proper words. After your game ends, your score is saved to the scoreboard, but at the moment the game must be refreshed to view the scoreboard. After the message “Score Saved”, the game can then be refreshed. Enjoy!

BREAKiNG NEWS:Wordsandwich was tapped by Buzzsaw TV and is actively pitching it as a concept for a television game show to production companies ..
we would conceptually pull from players of the online game for contestants, since you guys know how to play .. stay tuned for the story! :D

New twist for v2: Instead of a game being limited to only five words, a game would consist of 75 total guesses (yet the scoring system would remain intact.) Depending on how quickly you guess a word, you may very well be solving more than five words before your 75th total guess comes. For example, you may guess word #1 in nine guesses. This leaves 66 guesses remaining to solve as many more words as you can, etc. This way, the scoring potential is greater and would make for an interesting and competitive top ten. If you like the idea or have any comments in general, please feel free to leave any comments in the forum .. thanks again for playing! ;)

If you enjoy the game, are a fluent speaker of Spanish, French, or German and would like to assist in the translation of a few terms and phrases for international editions, please leave your info below -- Thanks! ;)
