I tried the word 'parallelogram'. The web page keeps changing 13 letters to 12 letters in the number of letters box then saying it can't find a word. I've never heard of 'draw something' as a game before so perhaps I'm using a word that isn't allowed or something. Stuff like this is handy in teaching especially if it works on a mobile phone (blackberry for teenagers, iPhone for colleagues :-)

Hey, thanks for the feedback. You can only specify 12 letters, so it doesn't make sense to search for a 13 letter word.

Re: teaching, I'll clean up the code a bit and put it up on github. There isn't anything too novel in there though.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah, I played around with that. On the iPhone they disable allowing you to programmatically focus input fields in Safari (from what I could tell). So rather then spend time on a work around, since this was just a fun side project, I figured I'll ship it as is.

Fair enough! It's not up on github is it?

There wasn't anything too novel in the code, but I've gotten enough requests at this point that I'll look into throwing it up on github.

I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can send you a pull request :)

Is this is an acceptable convention in US: http://omgpop.com/drawsomething says that the app is available at .99 cents (Get it now: .99 cents)?

No, that's definitely wrong. It's a common error, though, and in a lot of cases people don't even notice (especially when it's clear that it doesn't sell for part of a cent).
