The beta goes down at 08:00 Paris time, in a few minutes. We rebuild the database from the live site. It comes back in about an hour.
F7 - Select the letter currently at the bottom point on the wheel
Each round, you'll have to choose three letters to complete the ladder-tower to the right of the Letter-Go-Round. After it's built, a ding-bell summons Bert, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster, who all dance to a short tune in celebration. The next round automatically begins when they're done.
The game is programmed to keep providing new rounds "forever" until *you* decide you're done. To stop playing, hit F1 for the menu and choose 'Quit'.

OMG, I haven't seen these images since i was five years old!!
Beth: The original game was sold with a laminated cardboard legend that sat on the keyboard, fitted around the F1 through F6 keys if I remember correctly. Trying out each of the Function keys should give you an idea of how the gameplay is set up. I still have to download this myself to figure it all out again. :)

Does anyone know how to make the letters leave the Farris wheel when you find the correct letter? The game doesn't tell you the controls except it says press any key and press enter when you make a selection in the main menu.

Okay, I figured out the controls:
On Menu Screen: Arrow keys to select, Enter to confirm
In-Game...
F1 - Return to Menu (this is the only way to end game-play; games repeat 'forever' if you let them.)
F3 - Change Letter-Go-Round wheel speed (fast/normal)
F5 - Mute/unmute
F7 - Select the letter currently at the bottom point on the wheel
