As a word game enthousiast, I love that you created this -- and I loveeven more that you shared the template with the community! :)
As I was playing it I noticed a couple things that I thought I'd point out:
I was a little confused initially because I clicked in the first letter box and nothing happened. It appears that learners can't start immediately. I would maybe add a countdown to "go-time" or a text that says "you can begin when the timer starts" so learners don't think it's a bug.
It wasn't immediately obvious to me that I was supposed to drag and drop the letters. While I did eventually figure it out, I would consider adding that instruction to the screen.
• For your first bullet, I have considered your suggestion and put a Ready-Go text before the timer starts.
• For the second bullet, It actually had a Guide in the main menu probably it wasn't that noticeable but it is located in the left portion of the screen when you hover your mouse to it, it will say Guide. When you click on it, a lightbox will show, that gives you an information on how to play the game including the scoring.
I did not notice the guide. Maybe you should direct people to the guide when they arrive on the first slide (maybe by animating it or making it another color so it's more noticeable?). Just a suggestion! :)

Thanks again for sharing!
Hi,
Great game. Had the same comments as Allison. Since it's not that intuitive, some rules or instruction would be helpful.
Great job Joanamie! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Allison, for your feedback.

Hi Joanamie,
The "ready, go!" text is perfect!

This is very cool. A great example of what can be done in Storyline.
I liked the graphics very much also, simple shapes, not too many colors. I especially liked the fly outs on the circular buttons.
When I got to "green" I wondered how the double "e" would be handled and it worked perfectly.
Nice job, thanks for sharing.
Very nice template! Thanks a lot Joanamie!
Great example!! I did get stuck on Level 1- Q2. I could not click on Q3 or anything else to advance. Maybe check the state of Q3 and action trigger.
Very nice template!
