Ogle Help

Updated February 2, 2010

Introduction

Ogle is a single-player word-finding game for Windows. It was inspired by a classic tabletop game you've probably played, though it differs from that game in several respects:

• The pace is faster. The player starts with a small amount of time, and gains more only when words are entered.
• All words, long or short, score a single point. Longer words add more time to the clock.
• Fewer words need be entered. Followed words are not counted, so entering multiple related words — fine, fines, finest — is usually unnecessary.
