The keyboard keeps score of what's left
After every search, the key you used changes colour. Read it before your next move.
Orange: more to find
That letter is on the board, with more still hiding. The badge says how many.
Green: all found
Every tile with that letter is showing, so its key switches off.
Grey: not on this board
That letter isn't anywhere on the board, so its key fades and switches off.
Every tile tells you something
A search only shows your letter, but it gives away a little more. Finish a whole word and you get a life back, up to ten.
Letter tile
There's a letter here, just not the one you picked. Come back with the right one.
Power-up
Touch one with a search and it searches around itself for the same letter.
Trap
The first search shows it. The next search that touches it costs you a life.
Finished word
Find every letter of a word and you gain an extra life.
