Description
Spelling Bleep is my take on the popular NYT Spelling Bee game. As many puzzlers know, the NYT deems certain words too offensive to permit in Spelling Bee. That is where Spelling Bleep comes in. Spelling Bleep allows and even rewards players for using lowbrow or taboo words. In Spelling Bleep, high-scoring words like 'boobies' or 'goddamn' are fair game!
The points breakdown in Spelling Bleep:
- 4-letter words get 1 pt
- words over 4 letters are awarded 1 pt per letter
- pangrams are worth 7 extra points
- bleep words are worth 10 extra points
Technologies Used
- HTML
