# Selecting - Word Highlighter

Screenshot of a text selection game. The interface has a light lavender background. Center text reads "Can you select two words at once?" with "two words" displayed in bold and underlined. The top-left shows a timer reading "00:44" and the top-right shows "Score: 2".

The goal of Word Selector (opens new window) is to select the bold words shown by clicking and dragging across the text.

# Customize

You can customize various game settings by adding parameters to the end of the URL.

The easiest approach is to use the link generator (opens new window) to create your URL. Customize the parameters on the form, click "Share link", and copy the generated URL to play the game with your settings.

# Build URL manually

You can also manually customize the URL by adding various parameters to the end after a #.

Each setting is specified in the format settingName=settingValue. For example, you could append timeLimit=120 to set the time limit to 120 seconds:

https://mouse.techlit.tools/select#timeLimit=120

Separate multiple parameters with an &. For example, this URL changes the time limit and shows a "play again" button after the game ends:

https://mouse.techlit.tools/select#timeLimit=120&showPlayAgain=true

Below is a list of all available parameters. If you leave a parameter off of the URL, the game will use the default value.
