This game is another one from Gamehouse who programmed Super
Nisqually, also reviewed in this issue and it's an equally
addictive puzzle game.

At first look, it appears to be a combination of Hangman and
Scrabble. You're given a selection of 6 or 7 letters and have to
make as many words from them as you can. All the possible words
are displayed as a series of empty boxes, so you'll know how many
words of each number of letters you should be able to make. This
is a nice touch because it shows you what you need to aim for.

As you select the letters to use in your chosen word, they are
moved into a working area, then pressing an Enter button tests if
your word is valid. If so, its box is completed. Other buttons let
you Clear your letters or Twist the remaining ones. This shuffles
them and may give you an idea for a word to try.

Like Super Nisqually, the unregistered version lets you run Super
Text Twist 20 times. Then you must register it at
www.gamehouse.com, which costs $19.95
