## About
The Letter Grid Word Game gives you a grid of random letters and a timer. Find words of four or more letters by connecting letters that touch each other, including diagonally, without using a square twice in one word. Longer words score more. When time is up, the game shows how many words were possible and the longest ones you missed. Play as many grids as you like, in four-by-four or five-by-five size, for free.

## How to use
1. Press New grid. A grid of letters appears and the timer starts.
2. Make a word by clicking letters that touch each other, including diagonally, or by typing it. Each square can be used once per word. Press Enter to submit.
3. Words need at least four letters. Four-letter words score 1 point, five letters 2, six letters 3, seven letters 5 and eight or more letters 11.
4. When time is up, you see your score, how many words were possible and the longest words you missed. Choose a 4 × 4 or 5 × 5 grid and a time limit.
