→Selecting the Preset Game
After selecting Word Radar, your child sees a series of screens followed by an instruction screen that says PRESS ANY KEY TO PLAY. Your child presses any key, and the preset game begins immediately.
===Playing Word Radar===
In Word Radar, your child operates a radar scope. As the game begins, a group of words is displayed on the radar scope and then concealed by white bands. Before the radar beam completes a sweep, your child tries to match a hidden word to each target word displayed at the bottom of the radar scope. He or she moves the word viewer to uncover the concealed words and then fires to match a word and score a hit. If your child fires at a word that does not match the target word, a "miss" is recorded. Your child can move and fire the word viewer using either keyboard or Joystick Controllers.
