Overview
If all else fails you can try this “cheat” to complete tougher levels.
Introduction
Hello fellow gamers, and welcome to my quick guide for Highrise Heroes: Word Challenge. Since there were no guides for this game at all I decided to write one. The possibility that I might be able to help another player is just too much to pass up.
I’m not in possession of a large vocabulary but I can hold my own. However, when I only have 30 seconds to complete a level the tension causes brain paralysis and I end up doing poorly or failing completely. This trick in this guide helped me complete those tougher, timed levels more easily. I agree that is it “cheating” but I attempt to pass the level normally first and resort to this only if I cannot succeed otherwise. If you don’t want to use this technique, I certainly understand.
F12 is your friend!
This simple approach allows you to take as much time as you need to find a good word without the pressure of the constantly reducing timer.
1) Using F12 (your key might be different if you remapped it) to capture the screen.
2) Quickly pause the game.
3) Alt+Tab out of the game back to the Steam Client.
4) Click the “View Screenshots Library” button from the game page
5) Double-click the thumbnail (if you have a graphics program associated with *.jpg) or click the “Show on Disk” button, and open the image using the program of your choice.
6) Take your time and find the best word possible, trying to link as many characters as you can. Use a dictionary if you have one as you might learn a new word or two.
7) Delete the screenshot so you wont have clutter.
8) Return to the game and select your word as quickly as possible.
9) As soon as the game finishes with any explosion and refreshes the board, repeat steps 1 to 8 until finished!
Conclusion
I’m sure I am not the only one using this approach, but I am the first to document it in a guide. I hope it helps you achieve better scores, reach three stars, or to advance past a level you have been stuck on.
As always, thanks for taking the time to check out my guide. Any feedback is welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy the game!
