Re-create WordSmith

Ok, help me out here... somebody needs to re-create wordsmith for the angry customers. I'll try to do it, but it'll take me some time.

But most important, we need to write down the rules. I hadn't played it in years before they killed it.

I can get a public-domain scrabble-like dictionary, I'm pretty sure, so that's not a problem.

I think it's a row of letters, you choose from those letters, and new ones slid up to fill the gap and you could select that letter, then, until you have enough letters to spell a word.
So:
  1. how did scoring work?
  2. How did the controls work? (left/right is obvious, but what about the rest?)
  3. how did the game end? I remember you run short on letters eventually, I guess it's just one screen full (how many tall were they?) but what happened if e.g. you clear the board?
  4. Any sense of the letter distribution? i.e. were there a lot more vowels than consonants? Maybe it's just English-usage-frequency.

Obviously this is an opportunity to make changes, too... any suggestions? I know one: add PIP Live TV ;]

Anybody have a screenshot? (oh...looks like there are plenty on Google)
