Here, this can be done by typing PATIO.
Press ENTER after typing your word.
If you type a word of the target length:
The computer lists your words, with the
initial letter fl ashing. (The list can be
“scrolled” up and down with the UP and
DOWN keys). Below your words, it gives
its own list of other possible entries, with
no fl ashing letter.
If you have no more words to type: Press
SOLVE (and confi rm with UP or DOWN
and ENTER) to display the word list.
After inspecting the word list, press
ENTER. When the fi rst task is over, you
are given a new one. The number of
tasks to be solved (before your score is
displayed) depends on the level.
You may use the NOTE key at any time,
to inspect the words typed so far – as in a
“Target Puzzle” (§ 4.3).

Game” (see § 4.2). You can switch
between the options using UP or DOWN.
When the right one is “blinking”, press
ENTER.
If you chose “Your word”, type a
sequence of letters (maximum 9) and
press ENTER. If you chose “My word”,
a sequence and “target length” appear
automatically. See the illustration for
“Anagram Puzzle” (§ 4.5).
The object is to make words (containing
as many letters as possible), using the
letters at the top. Several players may
write down their word lists, stopping
when the “chimes” announce that the time
is up. After that, you may press SOLVE
(and confi rm with UP or DOWN and
ENTER) to see the computerʼs own word
list.
