About WordBeads
Spelling without restrictions! Free-range beads move about the screen subject only to the laws of physics. Use your linguistic prowess to skillfully select words that will cause the beads to fall into position to make even longer words. If you can't, maybe a Power Bead will help? Longer words bring larger rewards!
With four play modes---sandpile, submarine, popcorn, and raindrops---and five Power Beads---stir, add, the mole, swap, and jump---there are numerous ways to play.
Enjoy free-range spelling with WordBeads!

Some enhancements to the user interface:
1. Your highest score for each play mode shows above the score, so you know what to beat!
2. Added a stats button to the game menu (i.e., in each play mode) so you can see your accomplishments (words spelled, longest word, word with most points, word with most tokens) without having to restart the mode.
3. Celebrations for a new longest word.
4. Add sound to the fireball. After all, what's an explosion without sound?
