I wrote an app recently that’s available now on the Apple Appstore. It’s a fun game that can also be a very helpful learning and preparation tool for the vocabulary part of the SAT. It’s called Word Champion.
Here are some screenshots of the game:
The game follows a quiz/trivia question format. It presents you with a question about either the definition of a word or phrase, or a synonym for them. Then it gives you four possible answers to select from. Each correct answer scores you a point. As you accumulate a certain number of points, you are awarded different ranks, from High School level all the way up to Word Champion. The more correct answers you score, you are given “Extra Bonus misses”, which let you score more incorrect answers before the game is ended. The more incorrect answers you score, you lose more Extra bonus misses.
This is the ideal game while you are taking a break from playing those graphically intense 3d action games, or when you are training your crossword puzzle solving skills! And it’s a great learning/study aid!
It’s gotten several reviews online. Here’s one, from Resolution Magazine:

Here’s a video of it too with a brief description:
