-A long time ago, while exploring some ancient tombs in the [[Lost Desert]], a [[Scorchio]] named [[Amarna]] happened upon a strange collection of tiles. Lining the entire eastern wall of the tomb he was in, the tiles had letters carved into them and were in the shape of a pyramid. After gazing in astonishment at the tiles for a few minutes, Amarna turned to find that the tomb had begun quickly filling up with sand behind him. Desperate for a way out, Amarna started pulling out tiles from the pyramid, quickly spelling words with their letters. Thankfully, the Scorchio was able to quickly pull out enough tiles to create a narrow exit, and based on the legend of his escape, an exciting word game was created!
+Players must spell words by clicking on tiles adjacent to each other. Players can add a letter to a word if its tile touches any of the tiles already in the word. As they spell out a word, it appears on the top right. To deselect a letter, the player clicks the tile again. This will also deselect any letters that came after it.
-{{stub}}
+While vowels appear on triangular tiles as well, the player can buy additional vowels in exchange for game points from the menu on the right. Buying a vowel will add it as the next letter in the word the player is writing. If they delete it, the vowel disappears and a new one must be bought. Bought vowels also disappear if the player adds a letter after them, and then deletes that letter. The cost of each vowel starts at ten points, but will raise by one point every time the player buys one. When a blank tile is clicked, the player chooses a vowel for it to be, for free. This vowel will not disappear if it is not used immediately - it will stay as that letter, on a tile, until the tile is used.
