jquery-wordsearch-game


A word search game developed as a jQuery widget

This jQuery widget creates a grid of letters with words from the wordlist These words are randomly placed in the following directions 1. Horizontal 1. Vertical 1. Left-Diagonal 1. Right-Diagonal In addition, the letters are placed in forward or reverse order, randomly Provision is made to overlap words

The User is expected to click on a letter and drag to the last letter of the word. If the selected letters form a word that is in the word list the UI will indicate that by crossing it out from the wordlist

If the user cannot find a word, she can click on that word in the Wordlist. The UI will highlight that word in the grid and cross it out.

UPDATE: I've just added a version that includes support for touch devices. You'll find it in the /branches/touch branch. Please test and let me know if it works.
