The timed element increases the pressure and difficulty immensely. Twisting letters (scrambling them in a different order) can help you figure out different word combinations, because changing the letters can give you a different perspective. If you cannot figure out the largest word you can either use a “skip” to see all new letters, or your game is ended. If you do this you advance to the next round regardless of the other words you find. You have 2:30 to figure out one word that incorporates all the letters given. In the timed mode you are racing against the clock. The second mode, which is also from the original TextTwist, is timed. This might bring about a lot of frustration, especially if you are stuck on one word. This mode gives you the luxury of time, however, all the words must be figured out before you can advance to the next level. In the untimed mode you are given either six or seven letters (can be adjusted) and you have to spell words. Like the original game, Text Twist 2 provides you with both an untimed and a timed mode. This sequel stays true to the original concepts of the game, but it expands upon them in a positive way that makes the game much more enjoyable.

Other improvements in this game over the last is the new modes of play. This “get out of jail free” pass is an improvement over the old version because it extends play and makes up for one or two bad rounds. Unlike the original game which would not allow you to advance without figuring out the coveted seven-letter word, this game provides you with skips that allow you to change the current letters and see new ones.
