Set your handicap:
36 = Beginner Expert = 0
The HIGHER your handicap the easier it is for you.
The LOWER the handicap, the greater the challenge. The object is to LOWER your handicap -- as in Golf. A few gifted people achieve a zero handicap.

First to win games
The object of WordZap is to make 7 unique words FIRST! Make words by clicking letters as fast as you can (this is a race -- not a game with turns). Words are ZAPPED when you and the computer both make the same word.
For faster play use keyboard shortcuts!
After you have mastered EasyZap, move up to WordZap - the really addicting variation. The WordZap ADJACENCY RULE is not difficult if you read the tips carefully and then explore by clicking different tiles.
