Word Monaco Solitaire and WordPop! Nominated for Best Mobile Software of 2007 by Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine
BELLINGHAM, WA -- August 27, 2007 - The "Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine" staff and its board of experts have nominated the Windows Mobile versions of Word Monaco Solitaire and WordPop! for a 2007 Best Software Award in the category of Word Puzzles.
WordPop! challenges players to spell words in a checkerboard of letter tiles, with letters being eliminated as words are spelled with them, until the player eventually clears the board. WordPop! was also a finalist in 2006 Best Software Award. Word Monaco Solitaire plays like a standard game of solitaire but with letters. Players may only lay a card on a stack if that stack will result with a word. Players win if they manage to overturn every card and each stack of cards spells out an entire word.
Smart Box President, Todd Sherman said of the announcement, "We are thrilled to have not one, but two games in the running. Our word puzzles are among our most popular games and this nomination means a lot to the teams."
