You also travel through Greek mythology and then later the Arabian Nights, which will sharpen up your history and folklore knowledge as a bonus. I sometimes feel compelled to manually search for the meanings of my new found vocabulary, but others won't. This way you could easily find out what the words you are using actually mean. There has, however, been a good chance missed by not including a dictionary or thesaurus into the game. By playing around with letters I find myself learning how to spell words correctly, and even learning new words unexpectedly. This is, as you might expect, where my educational claims come into effect. The bigger the word and the harder the letters you use (K or Z for example), the more damage you do. To do this you simply have to try and build a word with letters from a 4x4 grid.

The scarcity of the letter is indicated on the tile with the yellow dots in the right bottom. In addition, the usage of scarce letters is beneficial for your score. As mentioned before, the longer the words, the higher your score will be. Diamond and Sapphire tiles: These are even more special tiles that can be earned if a word containing 2 or more gold or green tiles is formed.These tiles are even worth more points than the green tiles. Gold tiles: These tiles can be earned if a word of 5 letters or more is created.Green tiles: These are bonus tiles that appear random throughout the game and increase the word score you can achieve.You get fewer red tiles if you create longer words.
