Additional Information

WordZap for Game Boy is a word-building game featuring two distinct play options. "WordZap" involves trying create as many words as possible from a group of seven letter tiles. Quickly form seven words before the computer to win. If a tie occurs, both words are "zapped" from the list and play continues. The second game type is "WordHai," which has you trying to create three-letter words from three rows of seven tiles. The catch is that each word has to be formed using the tiles at the end of the rows. Using a tile removes it from the screen, creating new options from which to build. The game also supports head-to-head play against a friend using the "WordZap" format.
