You determine the list of words. You determine how large or small the square will be. If you want, the program will save a list of words for you so you can use them at any time to create a word-square puzzle. The program will save as many lists as you want to create.
Once you create the word-square puzzle, you can print it out on a form that allows you to say who the puzzle is for, and who it’s from.
Considering the processing it has to do to figure out a puzzle, WordHide is very fast. The various screen displays use a variety of colors and boxes designed to make the program easy to learn, use, and understand.
Finally, let me note that this program creates
1) An index file containing the names of all your wordlists (Word.Dex), and
2) A separate file for each list of words you want to save (*.Wds)
Therefore, if you use a floppy system (no hard drive), you need to keep WordHide on a floppy disk by itself. If you use a hard disk system, you need to keep WordHide in its own sub-directory.”
Another thing that really makes WordHide enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to WordHide. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
