3. Letter Lookout

You are in a race against the computer. On the screen you will see two characters
each one has a potted plant. You are the player on the right. The computer is
the player on the left. When the game begins, letters will appear on the screen.
Your task is to type the same letter on your keyboard that you see on the screen.
If the letter is typed correctly, your plant will grow slightly. Be on the lookout because
the computer’s plant will grow automatically. The plant that reaches the top first will
win the game.

4. Pair Up

Are you ready to pair up? The letters have lost their pair. You will see uppercase
letters shown on the bottom of the screen. The same number of lowercase letters
will then be given one at a time. Pair up these letters with the letters at the bottom
of the screen. Use the mouse to click on a letter or use the arrow keys/cursor keys
to move along the letters at the bottom. Press ENTER to confirm.

5. Letter Paths

Can you follow the Letter Paths? I bet you can! All you have to do is use your
mouse to click on a letter or use the arrow keys/cursor keys to move along the path
in alphabetical order. Don’t worry if you make a mistake! You can change the path
by moving backward along the selected path, or by pressing the DELETE key on
your keyboard. Press ENTER when you have completed the path. Be careful and
don’t get lost.

6. Letter Picture

Picture this! A letter will appear on the screen. Then three pictures will automatically
scroll across the screen. It is your job to select the picture that begins with the
given letter. Use your mouse, arrow keys, or cursor keys to select the answer. Press
ENTER to confirm.

7. Mystery Letters

Can you solve this mystery? A picture will appear on the screen along with its
corresponding word. The word will have some letters missing. Press the letter keys
and your ENTER button to bring this mystery to a close.

8. Spelling Bee

Help our band of Vocal Vibrations learn how to spell. You will be given a picture
and the first letter of the corresponding word as well as the word length. Type in
the missing letters to complete the word that correctly matches the picture. Press
ENTER to confirm your answer. Note that no letter is given as a hint in level 3.

9. Crazy Combos

Get ready to make some crazy combinations. A group name will appear on the screen
first. Then two words that belong to that group will appear. Three choices of words
will be given one by one below it. Select the third word that best fits the same group
as the two given words. Use your mouse, cursor keys, or arrow keys to select your
answer and press ENTER to confirm or press ENTER when the correct word appears.
