How to market a word game

[layzerboy]

I have a word game in the app store but the hardest part is promoting it to people who are solely interested in the word game genre..

any tips or ideas?

It's tough getting started. No doubt. We just released a word game about a month ago (Cricket Words - App Store - Cricket Words).

We did the usual stuff. Email blasts, Twitter, website, we were fortunate enough to have a site do a video review of our game. We haven't tried traditional advertising yet. That's next. What we have seen is that constant updates drive downloads more than anything else. I just did a write-up about it here:

Do you have a link to your game? We'd be happy to check it out. Hope it goes well. Please share if you find anything that works well for you.

The best you can do to start is to create a lite free version of your game. It will help you gain some visibility.
