logistics of text twist game?

[ramus313]

I am making a text twist game for my c++ class, and i had a couple fo quesion as to how it worked. Are the points caluclated by the letters used? or how many letter are used? like if i used a z in a two letter word would it get me any more points then if i used normal letters in a two letter word?

also do you give a total of 6 letters?

how do you calculate points? is that different for every version of the gam or is there some universal rule?

thanks!

the classic game has all the letters be the same value, though there are different versions of the game.

i found a github repo that implements text twist (though it's programmed in Java)
