Playing a Category

Each CrossWire category starts by dis-
playing a pair of scrambled clues, one on
the top and one on the bottom. Each clue
on the top has a matching clue on the
bottom. You must cycle through the
clues and match as many as possible be-
fore time runs out.

1. Do one of the following:

To...

Press...

view the top clues

 or 

view the bottom

 or 

clues

Repeat until you think the two clues
match each other according to the
chosen category.
The time remaining is indicated by
the bar at the right of the screen.

2. Press 

SPACE

 or 

ENTER

 when you

think you have a match.

If you have correctly matched a pair of
clues, a large check mark will appear
to the right of the clues and both clues
will be removed from the category.

If you have incorrectly matched a
pair of clues,  a large 

X

 will appear

to the left of the clues.

3. You may press 

SCORE

 (the green

key) at any time to see how
many points you have scored.

4. Correctly answer as many

clues as you can before time
runs out.

5. After you have finished a

category, see “Between
Categories” on page 12 to go
on.
