Letterpress is a unique and clever word game for the iPad and iPhone. It’s an addicting game that lets you match up your word making skills against friends and random opponents via Game Center, with a healthy dose of strategy thrown in as well.
The game is developed by Loren Brichter, who created the superb Tweetie Twitter client app for iOS, which was later bought by Twitter.

Brilliant.
This reminds me of your post on the revolutionary “killer” vertical scrolling feature in iBooks. Dude, you need to get out more, really.
