At GDC in San Francisco we met up with dinosaur UK developer Jon Hare - his words, not ours - to see the latest version of his free-to-play iPad word game Word Explorer.

It's all about solving anagrams, often with clues and photos as your hints. Each successfully solved puzzle gives you cash, which you can spend on new boats and planes to explore more of the world.

Hare, who is best known for Amiga greats like Sensible Soccer, Mega-Lo-Mania, and Cannon Fodder, says the game will (finally) be out in "three or four weeks". See it in action, above.
