Hop to it.

WordHopper is a stylish arcade word game, designed specifically for early Pentium-era systems running MS-DOS.

Ways to play

Starting at the center of a randomly-generated grid of letters, spell the longest word you can.

Race against the clock and keep up a streak in Classic mode, go for high scores within the 5-minute blocks of Rush mode, or take your time and spell even longer words in Zen mode.

Not satisfied? Tweak game parameters to your liking in Custom mode.

1.44MB is enough

Features a valid word list spanning ~60K words, well-polished visuals, and OPL3-compatible music- all fitting comfortably on your typical high-density floppy diskette.

(though, please, copy the game to your hard drive first.)

Available now

Got all that? WordHopper is $2 USD, with a $1 minimum. Purchase comes with pre-configured DOSBox environments for play on Linux and Windows.

Try out the demo before you buy, whether it be on real hardware, on an emulator, or even in your browser.
