To travel to your local library to seek guidance in this matter.\r\n\r\nIn this game you fight enemies who throw hurtful words at you.  The goal is to reveal their secret fear phrase by successfully typing the attack words they shout before they strike you.  If you get hit, the progress that you have made will be reduced.\r\n\r\nOpponents also use wordy magic to make things more tricky.  If an opponent casts a spell, the spell they cast will appear over them.  You can counter an enemy spell by casting the counter-spell: simply hold SHIFT and type the spell name backwards.  \r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nHow to Play:\r\n\r\nKeyboard required; sorry mobile users...\r\n\r\nType to stop the attack words before they hit you\r\nHold [SHIFT] and type the spell word backwards to cast the counter-spell\r\nOnce the secret fear phrase has been revealed, it will lower itself on the screen.
