Don’t look now, but Wordsmith is gone from the Android market. We’re not sure why – we’ve contacted the developers to figure that out. We just wanted to let you guys know. Amazon is the only place to grab the game for now and the developers, Second Breakfast Studios, have scrubbed nearly all mentions of the words “Android market” from their website (save for a short review by one of their market users, of course). We’ll update you folks with the full story when it comes in. [Thanks Jamie!]

[Update]: That was quick, wasn’t it? We’ve just gotten word from Second Breakfast that it was Google’s doing. The reasoning can be found below, along with alternative markets for everyone to download the game until the issue is resolved.

Wordsmith was taken down by Google due to Hasbro filing a DMCA takedown notice. We are working to try and get it back in the Market. Yes, we plan to get it back in the Market it just might take some time. Wordsmith free is also available on Handster since Amazon is US only. We’ve redirected the website links to Amazon so they weren’t dead links until we can get resolved.
