How do boosts work in Word Hunt?

[AARPHannah]

In Word Hunt, you have access to two boosts. The first is the magnifying glass, which unlocks after level five and fills in one letter in the crossword when activated. The second is the light bulb, which unlocks after level 10 and fills in one full word in the crossword when activated.

There are several ways to get more uses of your boosts. Every ten levels you complete, you’ll get additional uses. Additionally, every time you guess 20 words that aren’t in the crossword, you’ll receive a treasure chest that contains uses of both boosts, as well as game money. You can use that game money to purchase an additional use of a boost when you run out. You’ll know you are out of boosts when the boost icons no longer show a red number, but instead show a price.
