Update on Scrabble Quiz (23/1/13) Details

Dear ELS Scrabble Members,

Please take note that starting from next week (23/1/13) onwards, Scrabble members are to bring their Macbooks for ELS Meetings to do their quizzes.

All members are to download Zyzzyva (Mac version) from http://zyzzyva.net/ at home before this Wednesday if you have not.

The Zyzzyva app (the one with the Z logo) can be found in the file downloaded. Once the app is opened, load and set CSW2012 as default (other lexicons are unnecessary as we will be using this one in competitions).

Procedures:

1. Open the app (a Welcome page will be shown) and press the question mark (?) button on the toolbar at the top.

2. For the quiz for STEM WORD, set the Quiz Type to "Anagram", Question Order preferably to "Random", and set the option beside the text box as "Anagram Match".
Type the stem word in the text box (e.g. ?SATIRE).

3. For the quiz for HOOK WORDS, set the Quiz Type to "Hooks", Question Order preferably to "Random", and set the option beside the text box as "Length", min. 2 max. 2 for the quiz for 2-letter hooks.

4. For both quizzes, set the timer to '25 seconds per response'.

5. Press 'OK' once you have finished the settings.

6. Type all the anagrams/hook words according to the letters given (instead of a blank, a random letter will be given). You will be allowed to press 'Next' once you have found the anagrams/hook words in the given letters. If you wish to skip, press 'Marked as Missed' and then 'Next'.

7. Once you have completed both quizzes, press Analyze Quiz and show the results to the respective EXCOs for them to record.

You should save your quizzes so as to keep track of your results. Please familiarize yourself with the steps at home in order to minimize problems and time delay.


And also, remember to study your words.

Thank you.

Regards,
Jun Khai
