Deduce

       iOS Universal

Deduce is a challenging game of deduction (and a small element of luck) played with six letter words. Your task is to deduce a mystery word by exercising both your vocabulary skills and your ability to make logical inferences with as few guesses as possible. Deduce acts as an assistant who enforces the rules, provides hints, keeps track of your progress, sets up match games, and awards achievements.

What's new

Deduce 2.0.1 is a maintenance release which fixes some small bugs and activates an additional feature that did not make it into the 2.0 release: an Earned Achievements list for Game Center players. Go to Menu->Game Manager->Player->Earned Achievements. Tap on any of your earned achievements to learn about the literary personage it represents.

Deduce 2.0 is a major revision of the original game and features integrated Game Center support with online match play. Notable improvements include

1. Game Center integration. Statistical results, scores, and saved games are associated with the active Game Center player. If you are not logged into Game Center, you may supply your own player name for separate game tracking, or play anonymously. If you use Game Center, scores are reported to Classic, Novice, and Match leaderboards, and achievements may be earned based on the quality and persistence of your game play. Earn achievements with Deduce to discover 50 19th century literary giants of the western world, who were also masters with words. A portrait medallion is awarded for each achievement -- collect them all!

2. Online Matches. Use Game Center to play a Deduce match race with an opponent, or challenge a friend by selecting his or her mystery word yourself. If you are not racing to deduce the same word, watch your opponent's game as it's played. Text chat during or after the match.

3. Mystery Word definitions. When you finish a game of Deduce, a definition of your mystery word is provided. Increase your vocabulary as you play more games.

4. Game records. Mail beautifully formatted PDFs of your games or matches to yourself or others, or print your games using AirPrint.

5. Global settings. Use the Settings App to specify global options for Deduce, such as autosave (which automatically saves a limited or unlimited number of your completed games), and control whether or not mystery words are reused.

6. Tweeting (iOS 5 only). Find a particular game really challenging? Tweet about it to your friends.

7. Minor improvements to the user interface, including simplifications and a sound effects volume setting. If you marked a letter by tapping it, you can now unmark it by tapping it again.

8. Additional words. We taught Deduce more than 400 additional 6 letter words.

9. Minor bug fixes throughout the program.


A note for those upgrading from Deduce 1.4.3:

Games that you have previously saved (using Game Manager) are preserved under an anonymous player name. To access these games you must be signed out of Game Center, then go to Game Manager and remove your player id. Games associated with an anonymous player will appear in the Game Manager list.

Be sure to upgrade your device to iOS 5 for the best Deduce user experience.
