I. INTRODUCTION
__________________________________________________________________

Welcome to my Carmen Sandiego: Word Detective FAQ/Walkthrough! I
first played this game while I was visiting my friend and loved it.
Later, I bought a cereal box with this game in it and was very happy.
When I surfed through the numerous PC games that needed FAQs at
GameFAQs, I was surprised to see this game on it. After I got off
the internet, I immediately got to work on this FAQ and here you are.

IV. GAMES
__________________________________________________________________

-Game: Codebreaker
-Object: Eliminate all the hexagons
-How to Play: The object of this game is to find all the words in
the list in the hexagons. There are 3 levels. The first is level 1,
which consists of small, easier words such as age, tea and vinyl.
Level 2 consists of harder words, yet it doesn't get much bigger.
The last level is level 3, which consists of the hardest words in
the game. These still aren't that hard though.

The buttons above the difficulty are dictionary and rules. The
dictionary button, well, brings out a window that you can look up
word definitons with. The rules button brings up a window with
the rules of the game in it. The check button is used later and the
reset button will clear all your progress and start you from the
beggining.

To eliminate hexagons, they must spell out a word in your word list,
be in order and be one after the other. Click on them in the order
that would spell the word you are trying to remove from the list and
then click check. If all goes well, it should remove the word from
the list and the hexagons from the play area.

-Game: Spellanyzer (#1)
-Object: Rearrange the Word
-How to play: In this puzzle, you'll need to rearrange the word until
it looks like it should be spelled. In order to help you, this game
also says the word they way it should be spelled. The other way they
try to help you is the lights above the letters. After you click
"Check", they will light either green (means that letter is in the right
spot) or red (means that letter is not in the right spot). Change around
the letters with red lights to get the word. If it helps, you can click
the ear button to hear the word again. If you earn magnifying glasses,
you can place them on a letter and the computer will automatically place
the right letter there.

-Game: Spellanyzer (#2)
-Object: Fill in the Word
-How to play: This puzzle is exactly the same as #1, except instead of
rearranging the word, you have to fill in the words. In order to help
you out, they included the correct letter of some spaces in gray in
the background.

-Game: Spellanyzer (#3)
-Object: Fill in the Word
-How to play: This puzzle is exactly the same as #2, except it doesn't
have the correct letter in the background to help you out.

I'll list random objects and games you play in each area. If any
information isn't accurate, please let me know. Also, if i've
forgotten a random object, please e-mail it to me. I'll put the
