Word Whomp Whomp those moles so they spell your words. Word Whomp is a word game using a Whack-A-Mole theme. You are presented with six moles, each holding a letter. You must click a mole or type its letter to make them line up on the back row. Click or type them in order to form words of at least three letters. At least one word can be made with all six letters. After you have made some words, the mole at the bottom will reach the carrot, gaining you ten tokens. If you guess all the words, you get an additional two hundred tokens. One word space will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess that word, you will either gain twenty tokens or add fifteen seconds back onto the clock. You have two minutes and thirty seconds to make all the words. After your timer ends or if you guess all the words, a spinner will award you additional tokens. [source:mobygames]
