Introduction
Looking for a game to challenge your vocabulary? Or planning to challenge a friend?
Words of Fortune is a very popular and challenging word game which allows you to play alone in tournament
or practice mode or play with a friend in tournament mode.
The game was originally designed in 1997 in 12 days.
It was my very very first VB program. As people started appreciating the game, I released
it as a freeware. The game is available for downloading from most of the popular freeware/shareware sites.
More than 60,000 copies of the game have been downloaded since then.
In very short time, I made 15 releases of the game, mostly to add new features, add music,
improve UI etc. A primary school in Australia is using the game to help children learn words through fun.
Few commercial companies are distributing the game as freeware on CD's. In very little time, Words
of Fortune gained huge popularity among people of all ages. Some people use the game to
gain vocabulary for SAT/GRE tests. I am busy with other projects now, however I do plan
to add more features and fun stuffs to this game in future versions. So, if you
are a Words of Fortune "Fan" then keep visiting this page.
