AuGrDe Launches Its First iPhone Game: Word 2 Word

Test Your Brain and Your Vocabulary with This Fun and Easy to Use Word Puzzle Game

OAK PARK, ILL. (Oct. 17, 2009) -- Automated Graphic Design (AuGrDe) is proud to announce the release of the firm's first iPhone/iPod Touch game. Word 2 Word (link to iTunes page) is a fresh new take on word ladders: Your goal is to transform one word into another, making new words along the way, by changing just one letter at a time.

"I wanted to create a game simple enough for kids to pick up and play, yet challenging and addictive enough for adults to complete 100 percent," said Nelson Taruc, developer of Word 2 Word. "I'm giving this app away for free so that as many people as possible can have a chance to try it out for themselves. I hope they enjoy playing it as much as I do."

Now available for FREE at the iPhone App Store, this single-player game is ad-supported; however, the ads do not impede the gameplay in any way.

Key Word 2 Word features include:
* Free to download (ad supported)
* Three difficulty levels
* Solve puzzles to unlock new ones (50 puzzles total)
* Easy to use interface (all gameplay can be accomplished using just one hand)

"This is just the start of the Word 2 Word experience," Taruc added. "We have more gameplay improvements and extra features to introduce in the months to come."

Word 2 Word is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch with operating system version 2.2.1 and has been fully tested on the 3.0 operating system as well.
