Ditch the dictionary, become a Wordmaster


Anyone remember that old board game Mastermind? You would guess a sequence of colors a number of times until you find the right combination, thus making you a mastermind of colors -- always a good topic of conversation. That classic game is the inspiration for Wordmaster, a new DS title using letters instead of colors. Wordsmiths will unite when the game launches this month!

You'll be decoding six-letter words by writing your guesses for each letter on the touch screen. Imagine the secret word is "winner". You'll need to enter letters at random, and automatic hints will tell you how many letters are correct. Difficulty can increase by reducing the number of guesses you can take per round, and if you don't correctly guess that the word is "winner", then you are a "loser."

It might sound incredibly simple and/or lame, but let's not forget the thousands of people who sit there solving Sudoku puzzles all day. Those guys are the real winners.
