Panda Poet, by Spry Fox, has been discounted to
$1.49.
I find this game addictive (and no fair using one of those scrabble cheat web sites to find all the words you can put together with four U's and only two consonants).
Book Description
Discounted 50% off for a limited time (offer ends February 13th). Do you like word games? And pandas?
With Panda Poet you use the letters on the game board to form words. Words formed from letters in open spaces create pandas. Words formed from letters near pandas make existing pandas grow.
The goal is grow the biggest panda possible. You get the highest scores from either creating the biggest possible panda or from forming the longest possible words.
To add to the challenge, each letter is only available for a fixed number of turns. Each time you enter a word, all the letters on the screen come one step closer to expiring. When a letter expires, it is replaced by a skull, which prevents you from growing your pandas in that direction. This makes playing Panda Poet a delicate balancing act: you must consider where a letter is located on the grid and how soon it will expire, not simply spell the longest word you can.
