Author's note:

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. 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.
