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.

- Use this to visualize combos while building them.

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

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