In this mode you start by placing a word on the game board. This word comes from the column of words on the right and is replaced by another word. Words add to the column on the right about every 20 seconds. Twelve words can fit in the column and once it exceeds twelve you lose the game. You must place the words on the board quickly in order to avoid the word stack piling up, causing you to lose. The second mode is untimed and is more focused on the number of words you can place on the game board.
In this mode you have to place more words than you do in the timed mode, however, you are not under the pressure of the clock. Like in the timed mode, after you have placed a certain number of words on the board, you advance to the next level and earn more points.
Discards, hints, and power-ups are resources you have in this game that can help you come up with new words and boost your score. A new hint is earned each level you complete and is a helpful clue that gives you an available word to play. The hints are especially helpful because they show how to place tough words for the maximum number of points. Discards are also an interesting facet of the game. Discards are used to get rid of a word or words you do not want to use or aren't helpful.
You start each game with three discards. These can be hints or discards mentioned above or additional words and add-ons to your score. The power-ups are important and it is a good strategy to play toward them. Play Now Download the free trial. Buy Now Get the full version.

Word Slinger is my "go to" word game. Lots of fast paced fun if you play the timed version, or take your time and go for strategy with the untimed version.
Either way a fun game to play. This is first game I load on a new computer. I love Word Slinger! Better than any other word game out and I don't have to wait for a friend to get back to me with the next word. I only play the online version during my lunch hour at work, and compared to the real thing, it can be very frustrating!
The board is too small and the words supplied too long. The programme deliberately gives you words with difficult letters right after you make your move. It's like playing against a cheating opponent who's already privy to the hidden words. There should be fewer long words and many more shorter ones to enable more compound words. Also, too many words ending with an 's' following double consonants. This makes it nearly impossible to align long words, as you rarely gets words with 3 consecutive vowels.
