Word Builder is really two games in one. For boards that contain flashcard with single words such as "horse" the Word Builder game is a spelling game where each word gets broken into individual letters and the user has to spell the word in the correct order.
For boards that contain two or more words such as "praying mantis" the phrase gets broken into individual words and the user has to re-create the phrase in the correct order.
For boards that contain full sentences such as "We like the school." the user has to re-create the entire sentence.
Like all Bitsboard Games, you can adjust the settings to your liking.
