Thanks for sticking with it, Merve. “Resetting blocks” sounds like an in-game item, no? That’s a good one, for when your grid gets snarled up with consonants.

Gave it another try this morning and it seems to be working now. One thing that would be cool is the ability to reset all the blocks after a you have made a certain amount of words :)

Nup, still not working (if it helps I’m on a mac, firefox, FP10).

I was surprised to see bloat on jayisgames, even more surprised when it was a direct link to the swf, on somebody else’s site :P

Merve – at first, i wrote a much less insulting response. But then i re-read your comment, and wondered if you weren’t grasping the lasso concept. Sorry about that.

The game might have been published for FP10 … we’ve re-published and targeted Flash Player 9. Please clear your cache, give it another shot, and tell me if that fixed the problem.

Me showing you that I understand the concept of lasso’ing words – http://img183.imageshack.us/i/picture19c.png/
Me showing you that it does nothing at all – http://img30.imageshack.us/i/picture21x.png/

It seems like it only recognizes the first two letters in the top left, but I really don’t have any clue why it isn’t working.

Merve – you use the two-letter wide cursor to swap letters. You need to hold down the mouse button to lasso the letters and form a word. The game only accepts words with three or more letters.

(PS – THANKS for tipping me off to the JayIsGames coverage. That’s great news! They’re linking to someone else’s site, but i’m trying to correct that)

I have one main problem with it, when I lasso words nothing happens. It doesn’t seem to register more than 2 letters and even if I lasso 2 letter words, when I release the mouse button nothing happens. (btw grats on Bloat being on jayisgames the other day)
