How to Play
Wordscapes is a 2D puzzle that can be played with only the mouse. You have to use a combination of clicking and dragging in order to make words. The goal of each level is to fill the blank spaces with the right words. The blank spaces appear at the top at the center of the screen. Underneath it is a circle that contains the available letters you need to use. The button on the left can randomly rearrange the letters for a different perspective. On the right is a button that lets you fill in one of the spaces with a letter at the cost of coins which are earned by completing levels.
To make words, you need to combine the letters in the circle. To do this, click and hold on the letter you want to start on. Then, drag the mouse to the letters in sequence to spell the word. When you're done spelling, simply let go of the mouse button on the last letter and the blank spaces will be filled. Keep in mind that not every viable word will be accepted. Once you fill in all the blank spaces, you'll move on to the next level.
