HoneyComb
HoneyComb is a word search race inspired by the classic game Boggle. Read a complete description of the game here.
The basic idea that all players simultaneously race to find
words in a grid of random letters. All play and scoring is
simultaneous.
The twists for this digital game:
- The grid is hexagonal, which has fewer adjacent letters and makes words harder to find.
- Scoring is based on scrabble letter scores, so words using rare letters are worth more.
- Since
the scoring and competition is all online, as your opponents find the
same words as you, the words disappear from your score.
- There's no "whose got this word" phase after the search, it's all done instantaneously.
Dictionary:
Honeycomb uses a limited lexicon derived from the open source program Collins Zyzzyva,
which has roughly 280,000 words considered acceptable for scrabble.
