Setup

The Setup dialog appears when the application starts. It controls the character and pace of the game:

Yield

The Yield slider controls the number of words in the letter grid:

Yield	Word count
Sparse	Up to 50
Adequate	50 to 100
Full	100 or more

These counts include only the words Ogle knows; you might find more, if you're fast enough!

Pace

The Pace slider controls the time allocated to the player. Each game starts with a small amount of time. As valid words are entered, more is added, with longer words adding more than short ones:

Pace	Start time	Bonus time
Plodding	48 seconds	8 seconds
Slow	36 seconds	6 seconds
Unhurried	30 seconds	5 seconds
Measured	24 seconds	4 seconds
Brisk	18 seconds	3 seconds
Fast	12 seconds	2 seconds
Dizzying	6 seconds	1 seconds

For each letter over three in a valid word, one bonus is added to the clock. Thus, at the unhurried pace, a six-letter word adds fifteen seconds:

(6 letters - 3) × 5 seconds = 15 seconds

At the dizzying pace, a four-letter word adds one:

(4 letters - 3) × 1 seconds = 1 second

Following words invalidate the followed words that precede them. Therefore, when a following word is entered, only the difference between the two bonuses is added to the clock. For example, tester is a six-letter word, so entering it would normally add three bonuses. If test has already been entered, however, tester would instead generate two bonuses: one for the last e plus one for the r, the t having already been counted.
