Word Duel
Multiplayer letter-juggling joining Microsoft's Live Search Club.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 14, 2008 (Dallas, TX) – Dallas-based Blockdot has released “Word Duel,” an exciting multiplayer game for Microsoft’s Live Search Club. “Word Duel” joins many other awesomely addictive Blockdot-designed games in the Live Search Club library, including “Chicktionary,” Crosswire,” “Flexicon,” and “Discover the World with Matt Lauer.”
Your goal in “Word Duel”: wrangle up a group of letters and make more words than your opponent. You’ve got seven rounds to show you’re the biggest, baddest, word dueler in the West! Begin the duel by clicking/typing the letters in the windows of the saloon across the street. When you select a letter it will fall to the street below, and a new letter will appear in the window. After you have selected enough letters (five, six, or seven letters, depending on the round of play), start building your word by clicking/typing your letters in the correct order. Each time you submit a word, you’ll receive a search result powered by Microsoft’s “Live Search” technology.
You can play the wildest “Word Duel” this side of the Pecos by visiting Live Search Club at http://club.live.com/word_duel.aspx.
