The game was developed in 3 days, as a nomination for the Yahoo BOSS contest presented on Yahoo's conference held in Israel on October 31st. Here is the flow: a) Select 3 letters; b) A random phrase containing these letters is selected; c) See some pictures describing the phrase, and try guessing what it is; d) You can either try guessing letters, or gamble on more by guessing the entire phrase/; e) If you see you can't get it - buy a hint. A hint is a sentence containing the phrase; and f) •If you misspell the phrase - you will be forgiven and get your points. Here is how the game works: 1) Phrases repository: Phrases are taken from an open-source words list; 2) Picture fetching:Using Yahoo BOSS image search engine; 3) Hints:Hints use the Yahoo BOSS news search; and 4) Spelling:Using Yahoo BOSS spelling correction. This has been added to Games Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
