This is a spin-off from my project Word Miner (link below). In this Gravel Edition, letters disappear when you use them, and new letters fall down to take their place. Find words in a grid of letters. Indicate words by clicking and dragging from the first letter to the last, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. If the word is found in the word list, the Text to Speech will read your current word count. If the longest word you've found is longer than those on the Leaderboard, your username, word length and grid are saved to the cloud. I redesigned the leaderboard, because it wasn't useful. Now, the leaderboard shows who found the longest words, rather than who found the most words. At the time, @POS199 held the record with 230 words found in one grid. You can still click the leaderboard to play the same grids used to find the longest words. Unlike the original Word Miner, you can get points for the same words several times. When the project starts, either select a grid of letters in the Leaderboard, or select Random. To try a new grid, click the green flag. All code by me (@kriblo). It's a mess, don't look inside. I made all the costumes used in this project, using the Roboto Mono font. The word list used in this project was compiled using several sources and is meant to contain the 59 000 most common English words, using both British and US spelling. "Bad words" have been filtered out. There are almost no abbreviations in the list. There are no one letter words. You may think there are words missing, but I think the main thing is that everybody is using the same list. Thank you @gor-dee for the suggestion to have a more representative frequency of letters, compared to the original Word Miner. Try the original project Word Miner: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/468567319/ As far as I've been told in comments, these are the words which put people on the leaderboard: 20 letters, COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY by @pos1999. 11 letters, PREDICTIONS by @colinmacc. 8 letters, PRIORITY by @kriblo (me). #games #description(Find words in a random grid of letters.
