SilverLight Demo - Word Finder Game

With all the buzz about SilverLight, I decided to write my first app.

Translator Word Finder

The goal of this game is to find words.

You have to know the translations between the two languages (english and spanish). Great way to learn a second language. I'll be adding a few more sections to test your knowledge.

If you have some "english-to-spanish" words list; please send them to me. If they are appropriate, it will add them to the game.
