In an act of stunning generosity and/or a desperate attempt to seek publicity, Nimblebit made all their iPhone games free over the weekend. This is one of them.

I like the idea of this game. There’s a list of city names and you have to make as many words as possible from the letters in that name. As you make words, you get more people and buildings appearing and definitions of the words you make fly across the screen.


It’s spoiled by a couple of things. Firstly, by allowing plurals, verb forms, etc. it makes many words into chores as you have to keep submitting all the variations. Secondly, it’s a strict American dictionary so a lot of common British words aren’t allowed, which gets surprisingly annoying.

I’ve not deleted it off my iPhone yet, but it might not last much longer.
