Countdown (NDS)

Amazing fun. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mindscape-Countdown-Nintendo-DS/dp/B002G9TWWK)

Although the difficulties are exaggerated -- there is no way I should have made it to the Pro ranking without having lost a single game; there is also no way I should have made it to the Pro ranking in less than 2 hours after first playing the game -- the game is remarkably fun for anyone fond of the television program.

Best of all? It supports a single-pak multiplayer experience via local WiFi and the NDS Download mechanism. Sweet, can't wait to try this out. :D

What is it?

Sample. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmm225Obm6Q) The introductory pleasantries end at 4:25, so skip right there if you've less desire to see what the program(me) is like and more desire to see what the video game would entail. :)

Sample 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cm1Q6nEWCk), starting at 2:03, shows you the other face of the game lest you think it all about letters.

Okay, so ...

The Conundrum for this one particular match: WARDSTEEM

My Answer, with 3 seconds to go and me thinking "this can't *POSSIBLY* be it, can it!?" : WETDREAMS

The Correct Answer: SMARTWEED

Me upon seeing the correct answer: somewhat red in the face, laughing, and asking myself, "What the hell is 'smartweed' anyway!?"

Reminded me of the infamous "wankers" episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gBXPUSXGWs).
