How to Play Bookworm Deluxe
Are you ready to 'eat your words'?
Burning Tiles:
You'll see red tiles appear occasionally. Be careful! If you let them hit the bottom of the screen, your game will end! You can get rid of burning tiles by using them in words like any other letter.
Reward Tiles:
Green tiles appear randomly and increase word scores! Earn gold tiles by creating words containing 5 letters or more. Gold tiles are worth more than green ones! Combine 2 or more reward tiles in a word for higher word scores! Plus, you can earn Diamond and Sapphire tiles!
Bonus Words:
Starting on the second level, you'll see a Bonus Word appear beneath the Bookworm. If you complete this word you'll score extra points! The more Bonus Words you complete in a single game, the bigger the bonuses!
Game Types:
After the game loads, you will see a screen allowing you to choose Classic or Action games. New players should start with Classic mode, while experienced Bookworm players may prefer the more frenetic Action mode.
Classic Game:
This is the original game of Bookworm. You have as much time as you want to make each move, so you can carefully consider every letter if you like.
In the Classic game, burning red tiles will appear after a certain number of moves. As you go up in levels, red tiles will appear more frequently. Red tiles will burn through normal tiles with every passing turn. If they reach the bottom of the stack, they will ignite the library, ending your game.
Action Game:
The Action game is a more fast-paced real-time version of Bookworm. In this mode, burning red tiles appear automatically every few seconds, whether you move or not! And they will burn down through your library the same way, so you have to think fast!
Bookworm Goal
The goal of Bookworm is to make words to feed the hungry Bookworm, while watching out for burning letters that could ignite your library!
There are two game types: Classic and Action. But the basics remain the same for both... click on tiles to link them together into words, then hit Submit to clear them from the board.
Interface Tips
You can also Submit a word by double-clicking quickly on the last letter.
If you change your mind and want to deselect a letter in a word, just click on it a second time. Or, you can just click on a letter not adjacent to your word and the focus will switch to that one.
Right clicking will also deselect any letters you have selected.
You can also create a word by clicking and dragging a path... click on the first letter and hold the mouse down, then move the cursor over the letters in the word you want to make. When you're over the final letter, release the mouse button. If it's valid word, it will automatically be submitted!

Gameplay Basics
In both game types, the basic interface is the same. You must create words by linking letters on the board together. To select a letter, just click on it. Then select another letter adjacent to the first, and then another one adjacent to that, until you have formed a word of at least 3 letters. When you have a valid word, click the Submit button and it will be removed from the screen.
You can tell if your word is valid by looking at the sidebar... if there is a point value under your word, the game accepts it as a real word.
Letters must be adjacent, and you can't backtrack... small green arrows will show you the 'path' of the word you're creating.
