    Hello all,

    I just submitted my IsoWords game to the app store, and while I await its approval I thought it might be fun to have a little contest for some promo codes.

    IsoWords is a word search wrapped onto a cube. You connect adjacent letters to form words, BUT the 3rd time a letter is used its cube is removed. For example, here is a sequence of images to show starting a game, finding a word, and what the game looks like after cubes have been removed:

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    SO, WHAT'S THE CONTEST? -- UPDATE: This round is closed, but another has started at the end of the thread!

    Below I have posted a version of the game cube (some cubes were removed). Those who find the longest words in this cube will receive a complimentary promo code once the game is approved on the app store! To enter just post your word here. The only rule is that consecutive letters in your word must be touching (either at a side or corner, see the above pics).

    If you have any questions just post. I won't set a close date for the contest just yet.

    If you want to see some teaser videos and screenshots:

    Can diagonals cross back over the word? If so I've got a 7 letter word: WROUGHT.

    Not sure, I didn't see that in the demo, but good find.

    Pretty sure diagonal doesn't count... At least if you look closely at the video... Maybe I'm not seeing straight though ;)

    It counts cause he's got Zealot in one of the pictures, I'm just not sure if you can then go back across it in the other direction.

    He says "The only rule is that consecutive letters in your word must be touching (either at a side or corner, see the above pics).".
    I think your word should count.

    Some terrific words so far, thanks!

    Indeed you can (consecutive letters can touch at just a vertex), and that is a great find.

    So far echopoint, RagerX and MidianGTX have the longest words (7 letters), though the most archaic is Plast2's TORNUS.

    Believe it or not there is an 11 letter word in this cube.

    Since I got so many replies I will leave this open until tonight and then those with the longest words will get the promo codes!

    Thanks!
