4 Letter Word

An unimaginative title for a game that hardly stretches the Atari to its limits.

Choosing a one-player game will prompt the computer to select a four-letter word from memory. Your task is to deduce the word by transposing four letters.

The computer will help by indicating the correct position of letter, or correct choice of leuer, after evey four entries.

A two-player game involves your opponent picking the target word. Score is calculated according to time taken and guesses made.

4 Letter Word is written in BASIC. No use is made of sound.

The game is fun and could be of educational value for small children, but more should be expected of a program designed for the 16K Atari.
