Abstract

Nectr is a react web-based application that seeks to solve the problem of boredom while helping to expand the vocabulary of the user. Upon inputing correct answer users will see the dictionary definition of their answer as well as their answer displayed on the correct answers box.

How to Play the Game

  • The objective of the game is to create as many valid English words as possible using the given letters.
  • The center letter is a required element for every word you form. It is denoted by a darker color and must be included in every word.
  • Each word you create must be at least four letters long.
  • Only valid English words are accepted. Proper nouns, hyphenated words, or abbreviations are not allowed.
  • You can use any letter from the grid multiple times, except for the center letter, which must be used in every word.
