iPhone word nerds can’t get enough of our latest App Store offering Oh, My Word! as can be seen by its meteoric rise through both the free and paid Games > Word chart, where both versions now sit within the top 50 of their respective categories!

“A prettier and more interesting version of Hangman.”

So, feeling boyant, we happily announce that Oh, My Word! and Oh, My Word! Free will recieve version 1.1 updates by the end of the week. It will mainly address some small bugs and add sound, but future updates will likely also include social network integration, a revamped scoring system and a global leaderboard.

Mobile Pie Releases Oh, My Word! to App Store

Bristol, UK, 4th September 2009 – Tap ‘n’ Slide and B-Boy Brawl developers Mobile Pie today released their latest game to Apple’s App Store for iPhone and iPod touch.

Oh, My Word! is a brain-box bendingly simple yet highly-addictive word puzzle game from Mobile Pie. Close in on a hidden five-letter word by finding out if the word you guess is before or after it in the dictionary. It’ll make you scratch your head and whoop with joy as you search and find illusive words, chasing down your top score.

Creative Producer Will Luton said:

“Oh, My Word! is the perfect game for on your own on the bus or train or with your     friends huddled around and guessing with you… It’s frustrating and joyous in equal     measures, you’ll probably want to bang your head against a brick wall, but when     you crack a tough word it really makes it worth it!”

Oh, My Word! is available at the introductory price of 59p / 99c or for free as an advert-funded version (Oh, My Word! Free).

“It was originally intended for release through the Samsung Innovation Quest 2009,” said Luton, “but it was so surprisingly fun that we had to get it out and in to the hands of as many people as possible, so decided to create the iPhone version. In fact, it’s so fun we’ve already started work on an update and even a sequel…”
