If Letters Had Pants, Would They Wear Them Like This? What About Numbers? What If They Had Small Shovels and They Dug Stuff Up to Put in a Museum?

Briefing

Find words in a randomized grid of letters. The used letters will leave empty spaces, which the other letters can bridge, allowing for words that weren’t possible before, over larger and larger areas.

Your score depends on both the length of the word, and the size of the area it spans. You want to make longer words over bigger areas to score more points and reach the level’s goal before the timer runs out.

If you manage to complete the level, you will be presented with 3 pairs of pants for 3 different letters. Pants give unique bonuses to letters, a letter can be worth more, or maybe it multiplies the whole word’s value, or maybe it gives you bombs or does other things.

As you dig through the letters, you also dig through the dirt. Beneath the earth you will find objects lost to time. (and to their owners) Uncover these sometimes-precious items, sell them, and expand your museum, then place the items in the museum and unlock new gameplay modifiers as the museum’s collection completes.
