Ordet turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a beautiful, handcrafted word-playing machine.

Put your vocabulary to the test with Ordet: everyone’s favorite, little word game. Given seven random letters, how many words can you make?

With over 1,000 levels, you can expand your vocabulary and have fun with words for hours and hours. Find all the words you can to rack up points. Find the longest word to unlock the next level. Don’t know what a word means? That’s okay, you can look it up right from inside the game.

Ordet is the perfect word game for you, whether you are trying to expand your vocabulary, keep your mind active, or just pass the time with something engaging and enjoyable.

Hi! I've had Ordet for a while now, and it's an excellent game. I'm hardly an expert, but I thoroughly enjoy trying to get as many words as possible out of each set of seven letters, and it's great that the game is accessible, definitely a big advantage for us VoiceOver users.

If you type in ordet in the app search in the app store, you will find a version called ordet lite which is completely free to download and install. It only contains 5 of the over 1000 levels, but it's a nice way to try out the app before buying the full version.

I originally bought this game a couple of months ago and ran it with voiceover on my iPhone 5 which at the time was running IOS 6.3 I have recently upgraded to IOS 7.3 and now the Look Up Word feature within this app does not appear to work any more. When I tap the word whose meaning I want to know I am taken straight out of the game. I then reload the game and am greeted with a Welcome Back message. Hope this problem can be fixed as I do love this game.
