    Hello all,

    I just submitted a huge update to IsoWords, and it will be available March 1st. Sales have been abysmal for IsoWords, and developing this app has been an arduous journey for me, so this is my last push. I would like to thank all the Touch Arcade members that have helped.

    To celebrate the 1.1 update I would like to repeat a contest for promo codes that I did a few months ago. I am giving away 5 promo codes, and you can participate even if you won before (you will see why below).

    IsoWords is the completely original word search game wrapped onto a cube for the iPhone. Find words on the cube, but the 3rd time a cube is used it will be removed from the game, revealing more letters inside.

    The biggest changes in the 1.1 update are:

    * BLUETOOTH/WIFI MULTIPLAYER: Play in 3 different game modes with up to 4 devices over Bluetooth or WiFi. The games can get pretty intense, and have caused a few squabbles between my friends.

    * BLUETOOTH/WIFI & LITE: Sometimes it is hard to convince friends to get an app so that you can do Bluetooth/WiFi multiplayer. For this reason I allow the LITE version of IsoWords to participate in Bluetooth/WiFi games.

    * GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS: There are now global leaderboards for top game scores AND top word scores.

    * FACEBOOK/TWITTER INTEGRATION: If you connect the app to your Facebook/Twitter account you will also see the leaderboard ranks of your friends. You can also post challenges to your accounts allowing your friends to play your exact puzzle.

    * DAILY CHALLENGE: Every day a new puzzle is posted that everyone in the world can play. There is even a calendar where you can get a snapshot of your rank for everyday you participated.

    Here are some screenshots, and the contest rules are below:

    CONTEST RULES

    Below is a picture of the word cube. Your job is to find the longest word you can in the cube. The rules are:

    1.) Post your word in this thread (multiple entries are allowed). Consecutive letters in your word must be touching (at least at a corner), and letters cannot be repeated.
    2.) Tell your friends about IsoWords on your favorite social networking site (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, ...) with the app store link http://bit.ly/av3xam , and post a screenshot of such with your word entry.
    3.) The top five longest words will get a promo code (each person can win at most one though).
    4.) I'm not sure when the contest will end... we will see how many words people find. If it ends quickly I will do another.

    So, without further ado, here is the contest cube:

    Good luck to all!

    EDIT: I NEED AN "M". >.<

    Any chance of getting an 'M' in there? Cause I already have 2 Words that could use an 'M'. ;)

    Yep, and great word. I'm actually a math grad student in my non-app-developing time... this term is a bit archaic, but word no less...

    Best I've found so far is REUNIFY (will post a picture showing it later if necessary - can't do a quick edit on the image right now). Still looking to see if I can do better. Will update if I find something longer.

    I also found:
    Twits
    Trope
    Bt they aren't that impressive and you can only upload 8 attachments.

    I'll add pictures if you really need them, I'd need to get some sort of image editing program as none come standard with OS X.

    EDIT: Tweeted on @thesporkwithin
    EDIT2: Now with pictures!

    Ok, here is where we stand now:

    RttaM
    QUANTITIES

    canis firebrand
    QUANTIFY

    akame
    QUANTITY

    Coops58
    SQUARE

    TheSporkWithin
    ARTISTIC

    RagManX
    REUNIFY

    Remember, only top 5 get a promo code. Some of these words I see can be made longer with a prefix/suffix or by pluralizing...

    It's not necessary to post a picture of the cube. But, Preview on the mac can do this. Just use the annotate features and you can draw circles/squares onto the image.
