Introduction
Tumblee Buddy is *the ultimate* helpful tool for Pogo™ Tumble Bees players. Bee it using the hint features or having it
autoplay for you, even the most difficult "hard" level is beatable with this bot!
|
|
The Interface (GUI)
The upper main console provides a mini copy of the game board (where hints are shown), and the list of words (sorted by longest word, alphabetically)
available to complete the current round. The lower half provides all of the interactive buttons and a gray box area that lets you know
how many rounds have been completed, or numbers and displays the current buzz word (in buzz word mode). The Show Hint and Play Hint options
are for manual users, as is the scan+solve feature which does exactly that - scan the letters on the game window and list all of the solutions.
The Autoplay button which doubles as a Stop button is for those who want the bot to play for them. Autoplayers will also like the Collapse feature, which doubles as Expand.
Tumblee Buddy also lists a few menu options: Options, Rooms and Help. You can learn more about these by reading below.

Menu Options
 |
The Options menu allows you to access Tumblee Buddy's dictionary editor and settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Tumblee Buddy and/or request a new feature. |
|
The Rooms menu contains backdoor links to each of Pogo's Tumble Bee room topics. |
|
The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Tumblee 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 Tumblee Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates. |

The Dictionary Editor
|
The Dictionary Editor lets users do a search for
a specific word. It also lists all the words in a convenient searchable format by providing a scrollable list. If a
new word needs to be added or a specific word deleted, this is the place to do it. Press the change button at the top to use your own dictionary. Otherwise save or abort
any changes made. The dictionary editor makes these task a breeze! |

Optimizing Performance
- Tag Team: If you have a specific method of playing that achieves high scores, you may want to play with the Buddy in BUZZ MODE by your side since it offers great hints and help to boost your score!
- Slow and Steady... Even though the Buddy can move very fast, the game doesn't always keep up! We recommend using the medium-fast (3/4) setting.
- Definitions: To get the meaning (definition) of a word in the results list, right-click on the word and click on the Definition option that pops up.
- Under cover: Don't want the Buddy to appear on your taskbar? Use the minimize to tray option!
