Chicktionary has been named the Best iPhone Word Game at the 2008 Best App Ever Awards — beating out the word giant SCRABBLE.
The Best App Ever Awards, announced the week of the recent Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, recognize the best iPhone applications released to the iTunes App Store in the previous year. Nominees for the awards were determined by a committee of influential bloggers and application developers, as well as public voting.
In Chicktionary, your goal is to unscramble a roost full of letters and create as many words as possible. Each chicken bears a letter. Tap the chickens and spell out a word, then watch as the word appears below them. The more words you create, the more points you earn!
Besides the egg-citing game play, Chicktionary has cool features that give it depth, making for one of the most engaging game experiences on the iPhone and iPod Touch:
• Shake your iPhone to shuffle your chickens and get a new look at your word options.The free version of the game (“Chicktionary Lite”) has 12 levels of game play.
• Earn Eggchievements for crazy stuff or just playing the game like a pro.
• Save your game and complete it at a later time.
• Send a challenge-a-friend message directly from your iPhone.
• Post your scores to a worldwide leader board.
• Find hidden Chicktionary Easter eggs that are as fun and farm-fresh as the game itself.
The full version of Chicktionary, which now comes with 300 puzzles, can be purchased for only $1.99. Both versions can be downloaded from the Blockdot’s iPhone Chicktionary homepage http://www.blockdot.com/iphone/.
