The starting amount of money varies depending on the level.
To play, type a letter. If the letter that you guess appears in the mystery word, it will be revealed each time that it occurs in the word. Continue typing letters until you correctly guess the word or until you run out of money.
Note: If you ask for a hint, it will cost you the price of the letter plus $25.
