→One-Player Game
After you select the game of your choice, you are asked to enter the number of letters you want in the word. Press a number from 5 to 9. If you want to create your own list of words or use words from a previously saved list, press '''C''' to make a Custom List (see "Custom List") before specifying the number of letters.
===Two-Player Game===
To select a two-player game, press '''2''' during the title screen sequence. Next, decide whether you want a regular game or a scramble game by pressing '''1''' or '''2''' for the appropriate selection (see "One-Player Game"). Press '''3''' to see the rules for the game. After you press '''1''' or '''2''', you have several other selections to make.
* ''Guess Same Word'' - Each player takes a turn guessing one five to nine-letter word from the preprogrammed list or the Custom List.
* ''Guess Different Words'' - Each player selects the number of letters in different words. Each word is selected randomly from the preprogrammed list or the Custom List.
* Each Enter Word - Each player enters a word for the opponent to guess. The words can contain up to 12 letters and should be entered secretly. Player 1 first types the word for Player 2 to guess and presses '''ENTER'''. The display then turns green and Player 2 types a word for Player 1. After pressing '''ENTER''', the display turns blue and Player 1 begins the game.
After you select the type of two-player game, the next display asks for the length of the words you want (unless each player is entering a word). After each player has selected the length of a word by typing a number from five through nine, the game begins.
===Custom List===
To create and save your own list of words, make sure that a cassette
recorder is correctly attached to your system (see the User's
Reference Guide for details). Then press C when the program asks
for the length of the words. The Custom List display appears and
asks if you want to use the current list, create a new list, or read the
list from the cassette tape.
* ''Use the Current List'' - Press '''1''' and the game starts with a word from the current Custom List, if one has been created. ''Note'': When you press '''QUIT''' or turn the computer off, any list not included with the module or any list not saved on a cassette tape is lost.
* ''Create a New List'' - Press '''2''' and the display changes to allow you to create a list. Type your first word in the space given on the display, press '''ENTER''', and continue with the next word. You can enter up to 60 words, each a maximum of 12 letters in length. After you enter all the words you want, press '''SHIFT 8''' (*).
Next, you are asked if you want to save the list. Press '''Y''' (yes) and follow the directions on the display to "Save the Tape." Press '''N''' (no) if you do not want to save the list.
* ''Read from the List'' - Press '''3''' to read the information from the cassette tape into memory, following the directions on the display. You may add more words to the list if there are less than 60 words in it.
''Note'': You can create a Custom List at any time and use it for the current game. However, in order to use the list at a later date, you must save it on a cassette tape.
