Chicktionary
Chicktionary
A free mobile app that provides word puzzles and word play.
This
app
fits
nicely
into
Literacy
By
3
as
a
part
of
phonics/word
work
during
literacy
station
time.
For
gameplay
reasons,
Chicktionary
does
not
accept
words
with
less
than
three
(3)
letters.
One
(1)
and
two
(2)
letter
words
are
not
considered
in
either
game
mode.

Arranging
your
chickens
!
You
may
also
re-‐arrange
your
chickens
by
dragging
them.
To
drag
a
chicken,
touch
and
hold
its
belly,
then
move
your
finger
across
the
screen.
Release
your
finger
to
settle
the
chicken
in
its
new
position!
!
Scrambler
and
Trix
Don’t
know
what
word
to
form?
You
can
shuffle
the
letters
by
clicking
the
scrambler
button
or
if
you’re
using
a
tablet,
just
shake
it.
You
can
also
drag
the
chickens
into
different
positions
to
have
a
different
perspective
and
hopefully
get
to
form
more
words.
The
game
also
has
two
ways
you
can
get
hints.
These
are
Free
Bird
and
Beak
Sneak.
With
Free
Bird,
you
are
given
one
entire
word
for
free.
With
Beak
Sneak,
one
letter
in
each
word
is
shown.
You
can
use
them
whenever
you
seem
to
have
difficulty
in
forming
words.
!
Scoring
The
points
you
get
will
depend
on
the
length
of
the
words
you
form.
Three-‐letter
words
are
worth
a
hundred
points
each,
four-‐letter
words
will
give
you
200
points,
five-‐letter
words
get
you
400
points
apiece,
six-‐letter
words
are
worth
800
points,
and
you
earn
a
whopping
1,
600
points
for
every
seven-‐letter
word.
You
get
an
extra
10,
000
points
if
you
get
to
form
all
the
words!
In
addition,
before
every
round,
you
are
asked
to
make
a
bet
as
to
how
many
words
you
think
you
can
form.
You
are
given
three
options
for
every
wager
and
each
one
has
corresponding
bonus
points.Aside
from
getting
bonus
points,
you
need
to
reach
the
number
of
words
you
bet
in
order
to
move
on
to
the
next
round.
As
you
progress,
the
number
of
words
you
can
bet
on
increases.
Also,
if
you
fail
to
reach
the
number
of
words
you
bet,
the
game
will
end.

The
blue
ribbon
on
the
main
menu
The
blue
ribbon
icon
shows
your
current
rank.
Every
Chicktionary
player
starts
at
rank
1,
but
as
you
play,
your
rank
will
increase.
Right
now,
the
maximum
possible
rank
is
30,
but
we'll
be
increasing
the
maximum
number
very
soon.
!

!
How
do
I
increase
my
rank?
Whenever
you
find
a
word,
you'll
get
points.
Accumulating
enough
points
will
increase
your
rank,
which
will
give
you
more
options
within
the
game,
such
as
access
to
Quick
Play
and
special
chickens.
!
I
want
to
rank
up
fast!
How
can
I
do
that?
Create
long
words!
Long
words
are
worth
far
more
points
than
short
words.
Also,
experiment
with
different
special
chickens
in
Journey
and
Quick
Play.
Mixing
and
matching
the
right
combinations
can
really
help
you
rack
up
those
points!

Game
modes
Chicktionary
has
two
game
modes:
timed
and
untimed.
The
timed
version
allows
you
to
form
words
within
120
seconds
per
round,
which
is
definitely
challenging.
If
you
don’t
want
to
feel
any
pressure,
you
can
go
for
the
untimed
mode.
!
Classic
!
Classic
is
an
update
to
the
famous
Long
Play
mode
from
the
original
version
of
Chicktionary.
If
you're
an
experienced
wordsmith
who's
ready
for
a
challenge,
take
a
crack
at
Classic!
!
!
It's
not
as
easy
as
it
looks:
to
complete
a
single
Classic
puzzle,
you'll
need
to
find
a
very
large
number
of
words
from
a
single
combination
of
letters.
The
letter
combinations
and
the
difficulty
are
randomized,
so
it's
a
different
experience
each
time
you
play.
!
Classic
has
no
time
limits,
which
is
a
good
thing,
as
you'll
rarely
finish
one
puzzle
in
a
single
sitting.
To
save
your
game
in
Classic,
click
the
Menu
button
in
the
upper-‐left-‐hand
corner.
!
If
you've
played
any
of
the
old
versions
of
Chicktionary,
you'll
recognize
two
other
features
that
will
make
Classic
even
more
challenging:
there
are
no
Special
Chickens
helping
out
in
this
mode,
and
Bonus
Words
won't
give
you
any
Hint
Letters.
However,
in
case
you
get
really
stuck,
the
Hint
button
is
still
available
to
help
out.
!
!
What
is
Quick
Play?
!
Quick
play
is
a
fast-‐paced
game
mode
where
you
race
against
the
clock
to
find
as
many
words
as
possible!
!
The
basic
rules
are
similar
to
Journey:
longer
words
are
worth
more
points,
and
each
word
may
only
be
entered
once.
Also,
like
in
Journey,
each
time
you
play
Quickplay
you'll
be
given
a
randomized
set
of
letters.
However,
no
matter
how
many
words
you
find,
the
game
ends
when
the
clock
hits
zero!
!
!
!
!
The
Streak
Meter
!
Each
word
you
find
in
Quick
Play
increases
your
streak,
which
is
represented
by
a
row
of
eggs
at
the
top
of
the
screen.
One
egg
is
claimed
for
each
word
you
create.
!
One
more
word
and
you'll
earn
a
gold
egg!
Four
more
will
increase
your
multiplier.
!
Every
time
you
complete
a
streak,
two
things
happen:
▪
Your
point
multiplier
increases
▪
The
streak
meter
is
reset
As
you
continue
to
play,
more
words
are
required
to
complete
your
streaks.
In
turn,
the
rewards
you
claim
for
completion
increase
dramatically.
What's
the
point
multiplier
do?
!
The
point
multiplier
increases
the
value
of
every
word
you
find.
For
instance,
if
your
point
multiplier
is
3,
every
word
will
be
worth
triple
points!
!
!
How
do
I
know
how
well
I'm
doing?
!
Check
the
white
numbers
in
the
right-‐hand
corner
of
the
egg
tray.
They
track
the
percentage
of
possible
words
you've
found
so
far.
Is
it
possible
to
beat
Quick
Play?
!
Yes,
although
it
requires
a
quick
memory
and
fast
fingers.
There
are
several
special
chickens
who
can
help
you
out
by
adding
extra
seconds
to
the
clock.
Bring
more
than
one
along
to
maximize
your
time!

Chicktionary
Coop
The
newer
version
of
Chicktionary
is
Chicktionary
Coop.
Players
can
earn
golden
eggs
as
the
game’s
currency
and
use
them
to
buy
virtual
stuff
like
clothes
for
the
seven
chickens,
making
the
game
more
fun
and
colorful.
It
has
the
same
rules
and
gameplay.
