What's New

This app has been updated by Apple to use the latest Apple signing certificate.

Made several adjustments for players to get a faster start: New games always start adjacent to a port, prices of trade goods lowered, prices lower near the starting port and higher farther away, prices low at first port, less chance of pirate attack during early moves. For those updating to this version, most of these changes will only take affect after you start a new game.

App Description

Sail a sea of words to trade goods, battle pirates, build a fortune, and find the treasure!

In WindWord, you use words instead of wind to sail your ship from one port to the next. You can buy and sell goods at each port to earn money. If you find good (long) words you can sail fast enough to avoid pirates. But if not, you can always battle the pirates to take their gold. Visit all of the ports to upgrade your ship, buy more cannons, and get pieces of an ancient treasure map to win the game.

WindWord is endlessly replayable as each game features a randomly-generated map of the seas with islands, ports and words. Each game is a new adventure. See how fast you can build up your rank, earn money and find the treasure. Advance from "Swabbie" to "Commodore!"
