FAQ/Troubleshooting

How do I install it?

Download the .zip file above to your PC. Unzip it and then copy the .CAB file inside onto your PocketPC. Then, on your PocketPC, run File Explorer and click on the .CAB file. Wordle will then be installed.

It takes a long time to start!

Upgrade to version 0.95 or newer.

It doesn't work!

Make sure you have the compact framework installed. It won't run without it. I've also gotten reports that Wordle requires PocketPC 2002; earlier versions may not work. I have not tested it on PocketPC 2003 devices.
