score.

HINT: If in Time Mode, the time you have to
solve the puzzle will not pause while listening to
a players SCORE.

level for each player. To do so, press the SKILL
button while a player’s light is highlighted. See
below for an explanation of the different skill
levels and to determine which skill level is ap­propriate for each person playing. Since each
ball represents a portion of a phrase, the game
becomes easier when fewer balls need to be
unscrambled.

Hard – All five balls are scrambled

•

Medium – One of the five balls will not be
scrambled. It will be in the right order.

•

Easy – Two of the five balls will not be
