Introduction
Chuzzle Buddy is a helpful tool for MSN™ Chuzzle players. By scanning the Chuzzle board, it can provide
hints and even play the game for you. Chuzzle Buddy is feature rich and is the ultimate tool for anyone who plays Chuzzle.
Improve your play by using this handy auto to show a hint when you get stuck, or let it earn you some tokens and a badge while you're busy elsewhere.
This is one Buddy any MSN collector should not be without!

The Interface (GUI)
Chuzzle Buddy is a beautiful bot - both in appearance and performance. The main attraction is the GUI which is a miniaturized
copy of the gameboard. The rest of the interface is very straightforward and easy to use.
If you're interested in saving space, Collapse the GUI then Expand it again whenever you desire. The Show hint
and Play hint features will do exactly that. The show hint is indicated by a red arrow starting at the chuzzle to be moved and
pointing to the exact spot to where it should be moved. And of course the Autoplay feature plays the game for your automatically.
Chuzzle Buddy also offers an arrangement of menu options: Options, Room and Help. You can learn more about these by reading below. |

Menu Options
 |
The Options menu allows you to access Chuzzle Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Chuzzle Buddy and/or request a new feature. |
|
The Room menu contains the backdoor link to MSN's Chuzzle room. Note: If the room does not load, login to any MSN game with your username and password first. |
|
The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Chuzzle Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Troubleshoot and Bug Report feature to use when Chuzzle Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates. |

How To Use

prominent elements: play hint will play the next best move when manual players get stuck, while the autoplay makes the Buddy do all of the gameplay.
