CARING FOR YOUR DEVICE

malfunction and lose memory. In this case switch OFF and then
switch back to ON.

one space, replacing the letter below it. When a Shadow Letter reaches the bottom row, you have one last chance to use it in a
word before the game ends. Get rid of Shadow Letters quickly, as they carry over from level to level!
