Loople

How to Play

The challenge is to make as many words as you can using the 15 random character tiles provided to you.  Tiles are arranged in a clockwise loop, meaning words can start and wrap around the loop in any direction.

Scoring

Each round begins with a base score of 1.
For every valid word you find, the score is multiplied by the word’s length, creating a chain multiplier effect for longer or successive words.

Example using the characters [SMARTIPAN]:

Word	Multiplier	Score
MAR	3x	3
ART	3x	9
TIP	3x	27
PAN	3x	81
MART	4x	324
PANS	4x	1,296
SMART	5x	6,480

Invalid Words

• Words less than three characters.
• Proper nouns (names of people, places, organisations etc.)
• Offensive words
• Abbreviations and acronyms 

Known Issues

• The clear button will not reset all the tiles to make them clickable. A workaround is to use backspace to clear letters.

Tips

• Think in loops: You can make plural words easily if your word starts with an S. For example, [SPOON] becomes [SPOONS] as the words loop round.
• Identify Prefixes and suffixes: UN-, RE-, IN-, -ED, -ING, -ER, -LY, -S.
• Identify Plurals and verb forms: -S, -ES, -ED, or -ING
• Space apart your vowels.
• You don’t have to use all the tiles.

Planned Content

• Implement cohesive branding/game identify
• Different gameplay modes (Daily challenge, Unlimited, etc.)
