help_icon_shake is number of second before shake

J) Add images 

Put your images in assets/pics. I suggest size is 320x320 to save the apk size.

INSERT INTO WORDS (_id, unlocked,solved,score,word,letters,image,suggestion) 
VALUES (1,1,0,0,'CAT','CUTODKEADUECSKD','pics/cat.jpg','ANIMAL');

This is a sql query to insert words into database.

In this example 'CAT' is the correct word, CUTODKEADUECSKD is letters provided to guess, you MUST need to provide more than 12 letters.

'pics/cat.jpg' is link to image folder

'ANIMAL' is the suggestion word
