Chicktionary named Best iPhone Word Game, beats Scrabble

I guess Chicktionary has proved that Scrabble isn’t all it’s cracked up to be – at least, when it comes to the iPhone/iPod Touch renditions. All the votes have been tallied at the 2008 Best App Ever Awards, and surprisingly, Blockdot’s Chicktionary has received the most love and been named 2008′s Best Word Game.

Chicktionary had some very tough competition. There were 10 other contestants for this award, among them 2 Across, Imangi, Lexitron, Quordy, Scrabble, Scramboni, Word Flow, WordsWorth and wurdle. In the game, you are in a henhouse with chickens that happen to be laying eggs with letters on them. You have to make words before time runs out.

If you’d like to check out Chicktionary to see why it won, you have two options. Both Chicktionary Lite and Chicktionary are available through iTunes. Chicktionary is the $1.99, 4.6mb full version of the game with 300 levels. Chicktionary Lite is basically a demo – a free, 4.6mb version of the game with only 12 levels. So perhaps it’d be best to sample the lite version first, to get a taste and see if it fits your playing style.
