Summary
Onword is an internal game for testing Game Center. It was developed by Ken Kocienda.
The player must form words from a random set of seven letters. Similar to Scrabble, each letter has a point value, and the point values are combined when a word is formed. Each game runs for exactly one minute.
Full Game Center functionality is still present even today, and you can still invite players and matchmake with up to 4 players without issue. There is also a singleplayer mode available for practice.
