WordQuiz is dead, long live WordQuiz!
Today I released a completely new version of WordQuiz (2010.07.27). The old shareware version no longer exists.
The new WordQuiz has come full circle and is based on the the KDE version known as KWordQuiz. WordQuiz is provided as an easy to download, install and use version for Windows XP and newer.
The best news is that WordQuiz now is completely free open source software.
If you have used WordQuiz before you might want to switch with caution as several things behave differently and some features are missing.
