99 Letters, a fresh and unique word hunting, lotto ball challenge. High resolution, letter lotto balls make up your board, bouncing, rolling, and falling into place with realistic 3D physics. Every new game refreshes the board, watch them tumble into place, then the challenge begins. Tap touching balls in sequence to make words, the longer the better. Traditional letter scores, length multipliers, gold ball doublers, and a bingo bonus determine the words value. Tap the final letter again, and pop-pop-pop, the balls burst and disappear causing the remaining balls to tumble into the empty spots and alter the layout. Choose your words carefully to maximize your results. Want to add more challenge, play a Shootout and pit your skills against friends or other Game Center players. The easiest difficulty allows two letter words, the hardest requires at least four letter words, the remaining levels a more traditional three letter minimum. You choose how hard to make it. So, why wait? Start word hunting! Scoring: Multiplier for number of letters. Scores for each letter: 1 point: E, A, I, O, N, R, T, L, S, U 2 points: D, G 3 points: B, C, M, P 4 points: F, H, V, W, Y 5 points: K 8 points: J, X 10 points: Q, Z Gold balls double the total. Example: MEOW, (M 3, E 1, O 1, W 4) * (Letters 4) = 36 Instructions: Tap touching letter balls to make up words. Tap the last letter ball a second time to complete the word and claim your points. Each letter multiplies your total score, gold balls double your score, and 7 letter or more words score a 50 point bingo bonus. Multiple gold balls keep doubling your score. Traditional letter scoring is in effect, harder to use letters give higher scores. Want to try another word? Just tap on a distant ball to begin again. Blank balls act as blocks and may not be used. Choose your words carefully, once the balls burst, the boards changes, sometimes dramatically. Strategy, combined with word hunting skills are key to maximum scores. Every board may be replayed as often as you like, just choose Retry. Enough reading, it's time to start tapping ... 99 Letters! Highlights: Exclusive to iOS. Realistic 3D physics. Shootout w/Friends. HD letter lotto ball graphics. Sequential letter matching. Completely freeform packing. Find and collect hidden coins. Multiple difficulty levels. High score tracker. Game Statistics. Ad Supported.

Five Dice! Plus is a Yahtzee* style game with a twist - you can accumulate unused rolls from each turn & then use them in subsequent turns. It's simple - use only one or two rolls & the remaining rolls from that turn are added to the next. If you don't use all the rolls from the next turn, the left overs are added to the next, & so on... Sounds like a piece of cake to just keep accumulating rolls & getting Five Dices, right? Wrong! If you don't think through your strategy, all those extra rolls you accumulated are gone in a flash! FEATURES: - 2 Player multiplayer via Game Center - with Voice Chat. - Game screen color customizer - Dice roll and Five Dice! sounds - Simple interface - Score suggestions highlighted in yellow - Touch the dice you want to keep - Touch the score you want to apply the turn to - High scores saved to top 10 list - List can be cleared - Leaderboards: Compare your scores with friends & other Five Dice Plus! players - Achievements - Daily & All Time game stats *Yahtzee is a registered trademark of Hasbro Inc
