Combos
- When a word is cleared all the tiles above it will fall. If these falling tiles form a word upon
landing, this new word will also be cleared. Clearing tiles in combos nets extra points.

Shiftkey and pressing any letter key will highlight all tiles containing that letter. - Holding both the

Spacebarand moving the cursor will expand the size of the cursor allowing you
to move multiple tiles at once.
