    Hey guys, IsoWords ($1.99) just went live in the app store (see it here: http://bit.ly/5KuVnE). I held a contest a few weeks ago for a free copy (had 8 pages! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=35275), and I sent the winners their promo codes (drelbs, Ahiru, S.I.D. CrAzY, Plast2 check your PM).

    I'd like to hold a similar contest now that IsoWords is available, but I want to do things a little differently.

    First, IsoWords is a word search game wrapped onto a cube. Connect touching letters to form words, but the third time a letter is used its cube is removed. See the following screenshots and videos to get an idea of how IsoWords works:

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]



    Below I have posted a version of the game cube (with some cubes missing). Everyone has until Dec. 13th, 10pm EST to find a word in the cube and submit it to me. The top 10 words will get a promo code! The rules for finding a word are:

    1.) Consecutive letters in your word must be touching (either at a side or a corner).
    2.) You cannot reuse a letter in the cube.

    To submit a word you must do the following (update: there has been an addendum to the rules):

    1.) Follow me on twitter http://www.twitter.com/opetopic OR fan the IsoWords facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/IsoWords/157731339587
    2.) Retweet the announcement of the contest: http://opetopic.com/blog/?p=56 (click the retweet button at the bottom of the blog post).
    3.) Post the following to your twitter account: "@opetopic IsoWords contest entry:[your word]" OR post a message on the Facebook wall with your word.

    4.) This isn't required, but it would be helpful: Post the word you found back here so that everyone knows what words are taken (I will be keeping track of this too).

    You can submit as many times as you want before the deadline. Also I hope you don't think it is cheap for me to ask you to follow me on twitter ... just trying to network. Either way I think it will be fun because I will post challenges on my twitter page and you can try to beat them. I play this game pretty compulsively so please send me challenges too...

    There is an added bonus to this! I also have the French, Spanish and German versions of this game coming out soon, and the winners here will also get a copy of one of these languages when they become available! IsoWords is hella fun in other languages too!

    Without further ado, here is the puzzle:

    Yeah, I understand ... I only started using twitter recently myself. Do you use facebook? I will make an addendum to the rules that you can optionally fan IsWords' facebook page and post your word on the wall. Let me know if that works ...

    no prob, I hope you enjoy it.

    BTW, to those who won a copy of IsoWords in the last contest: If you speak Spanish, French or German and want a copy of IsoWords for those languages, let me know and I will hook you up with a copy when becomes available.

    thanks

    I can't find any words! I'm beginning to think it'd be pointless me even trying to play the game if I won it :rolleyes:

    Hey, yeah I got it. You did exactly what I was looking for, I just didn't explain it very well in my post (I have updated it now). Try finding a bigger word though ... there are at least 4 or 5 seven letter words...

    It says to post the word you found, so the word I found was "sauntered".

    There's a U.

    Seems like a valid word unless I'm missing something.
