# About Word Swipe

Word Swipe is a fast-paced and addictive word puzzle game that challenges your vocabulary and speed. The game presents you with a 7x7 grid of random letters, and your objective is to find as many words as possible to rack up the highest score. Simply swipe your finger or mouse across adjacent letters in any direction—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—to spell out words.

When you successfully form a valid word of three or more letters, the tiles are cleared from the board, and new letters cascade down from the top to take their place. This dynamic "gravity and refill" system ensures the game board is always changing, offering fresh opportunities and challenges with every move. With a clean, modern interface and a scoring system that rewards longer words, Word Swipe is the perfect game to test your lexical skills.

## How to Play

The goal of Word Swipe is to score as many points as possible by forming words from the grid of letters.

1.  **Start Swiping:** Click and drag your mouse, or tap and drag your finger, starting on any letter tile.
2.  **Connect Letters:** Continue dragging over adjacent letters (up, down, left, right, or diagonally) to spell a word. You cannot use the same tile twice in one word.
3.  **Submit Word:** Release the mouse button or lift your finger to submit the word you've created.
4.  **Score Points:** If the word is valid (3 letters or more) and exists in the game's dictionary, you'll earn points. The used letter tiles will then vanish.
5.  **Refill Grid:** New letters will fall from the top to fill the empty spaces, creating a new board configuration.
6.  **Continue Playing:** Keep finding words to increase your score. The game is endless, so aim for a personal best!

## Features

- **Intuitive Swipe Controls:** Gameplay is simple and satisfying. Just swipe to connect letters and form words.
- **Dynamic Gravity System:** The board is constantly evolving as cleared tiles are replaced by new ones, requiring you to adapt your strategy.
- **Rewarding Score System:** Longer words grant exponentially more points, encouraging you to search for more complex words over simple ones.
- **Sleek &amp; Responsive Design:** A clean, dark-themed interface with smooth animations that looks and plays great on both desktop and mobile devices.

## Controls

- **Mouse:** Click and hold the left mouse button, then drag over adjacent letter tiles to form a word. Release the button to submit.
- **Touchscreen:** Tap a letter and swipe your finger across adjacent tiles. Lift your finger from the screen to submit the word.

## Tips & Strategies

- **Go for Length:** The scoring system heavily favors longer words. A 4-letter word is worth four times more than a 3-letter word, so always be on the lookout for bigger opportunities.
- **Clear the Bottom:** Clearing words near the bottom of the grid will cause the most disruption, potentially creating new word chains and opportunities as the letters above fall into place.
- **Use Prefixes and Suffixes:** Keep an eye out for common word combinations, like adding 'S', 'ED', or 'ER' to an existing root word you see on the board.
