Play Popword by click-and-dragging across adjacent letters in the grid and releasing the mouse button when you have selected a word. Each successive selected letter must be directly next to the previously selected letter (either horizontally, vertically or diagonally). If the word you have selected is a valid English word, the letters will 'pop' away and the letters above them will fall to take their place. The maximum length of a word is 8 letters. As you play the game, more letters will fall from the top of the screen - the aim of the game is to prevent the grid from overflowing by popping words.

You score points for each word you pop. Longer words score many more points than shorter words. There are also a few special letters to help and hinder ...

Good luck!
