Word Flower

Words in nature.

Play the Word Flower where the ultimate goal is to uncover a hidden energy-themed word. Create as many words as possible using letters on the petals surrounding a central letter — letters can be used more than once. Every word must include the central letter, and at least one word — the power word — must use all available letters.
