the Language Master flashes the message “Already used!”. If you’re having a dif-
ficult time guessing some anagrams, press

this helps you get more anagrams. When you’ve typed in every possible anagram, 
the Language Master flashes “Correct” one last time. Press 

 to go on to 

the next round. If you can’t guess all of the words or you just want to end the game, 
press 

. The Language Master will show you all the anagrams that you missed. 

Notice that the Language Master has presented a list of all of the correct ana-
grams. If you want to see the dictionary information for one of the words, press 

. This is just like the pick mode. Use the arrow keys to highlight the word 

you want to look up and then press 

 again. The dictionary information for 

the highlighted word appears. To return to the game, press 

. Press 

 

to go on to the next round.

The following is a short description of the rest of the games.

bled.

Next you’ll need to set the game options. Please refer to the beginning of the 
games section on how to set the options. Press 

 when all of the options 

have been set. 

A jumbled word will appear on the Language Master’s screen. When you think you 
know the correct order of the letters that form the mystery word, type them in. When 
you are finished typing in your guess, press 

. If you type in a correct re-

sponse, the Language Master responds with “Correct word”, “You win!!”. 

Some jumbled words have more than one answer. These jumbled words will be fol-
lowed by a number which indicates how many correct answers there are. If you’re 
having a difficult time guessing the word, press 

 to jumble the word again. The 

new version may be easier to guess. When you’ve guessed all of the correct pos-
sible combinations, you win. Press the SPACE key to go on to the next round. If 
your guess is wrong, you will get another chance. If you can not decipher a jumbled 
word, simply press 

 to see the jumbled word in its unjumbled form(s). Press 

 to go on to the next round.
