Find POOF in a collapsing letter grid
Poof hides the word POOF in a 16×16 board containing only P, O and F. Select the four letters in sequence. Words run left to right, top to bottom, or diagonally down-right. Once a word disappears, the remaining letters collapse backwards as one continuous text line and new letters enter at the bottom right.
- Find a P and inspect its right, lower and lower-right neighbors for two O letters followed by F.
- Recheck the area around a cleared word. Text wrapping changes several rows at once, unlike falling columns in a matching game.
- A completed word earns 100 points. Reveal costs 20 points and highlights a valid sequence. Color and small shape symbols distinguish the three letters.
