NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Dallas, TX, United States, 12/12/2008 - Dallas-based Blockdot has released an iPhone version of the word game Chicktionary.

The goal in Chicktionary is to unscramble groups of letters and create as many words as possible. Each chicken character bears a letter. Tap the chickens and spell out a word, then watch as the word appears below them. The player earns points for each valid word entered.

Features on the iPhone and iTouch version of Chicktionary include:
• Shaking the iPhone shuffles the chicken characters, providing a new look at word options.
• Ability to earn achievements.
• Playing 100 levels in the full version and 12 levels in the "lite" version.
• Saving a game and completing it at a later date.
• Sending a challenge-a-friend message directly from the iPhone.
• Posting scores to a worldwide leaderboard.

The full version of Chicktionary can be purchased on the iTunes Chicktionary homepage.
