DIALWORD by Terry Taggart is a Windows 3.1 word and logic game that generates words and phrases from telephone numbers, reflecting the classic concept of “phonewords.” Players enter a numeric phone number and the program displays possible word combinations based on the letters assigned to each keypad digit. The game challenges users to recognize meaningful words, improve vocabulary, and explore language patterns rather than compete for points or speed. With a simple mouse-driven interface and minimal graphics, DIALWORD fits well among early 1990s educational and utility-style games. It remains an interesting example of creative wordplay software from the Windows 3.1 era and can be played right here online through browser-based Windows 3.1 emulation.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse.
