Game objective
Your goal is to score as many points as possible while filling in the missing letters in a mystery answer. The mystery answer (a phrase, name, quotation, etc.) relates to a picture which is hidden beneath a quantity of letter tiles.
Game basics
Each time you click a letter tile, the tile is removed from on top of the picture and the tile’s letter is placed in the answer. You see more of the picture and have a better chance of identifying the exact mystery answer.
The answers first available letter position (unanswered) has a blinking question mark “?”. You score points when you guess (click) the correct letter for this position. Guessing the letter with the question mark is ALWAYS your goal.
Scoring
The perfect score for every game is 100,000 points. Each correctly guessed letter adds to your score. As different puzzles have varying numbers of letter, the value of a correct guess will vary from puzzle to puzzle. But a perfect puzzle will always be exactly 100,000 points.
The earlier you identify the answer while playing the puzzle, and you begin guessing correctly each and every time, the higher your score will be. At this point, you won’t really be guessing at all.
Since Picturiffic(tm) has no clock, identifying the answer early means in the fewest clicks. In fact, you’ll score higher by looking at the layout of the answer letters and pondering a bit before every “early” guess.
Keyboard entry
Picturiffic(tm) may be played with the mouse of the keyboard.
When you play with the mouse and click the letter tiles one-by-one, you control which individual letter tile will be removed, and which section of the picture will be uncovered.
When you use the keyboard, you will NOT control which of the several tiles will be removed from on top of the picture when there are several tiles with the same letter. It is random.
Play tips
Take your time at the beginning of the game and examine the picture and the answer layout carefully after each and every letter tile removal. If you identify the answer just one tile earlier than someone else, your score will be significantly higher.
Use the mouse early in the game. Once you know the answer, switch to the keyboard.
