I could spend a few paragraphs talking about the fact that 5th Cell is known for innovation with games such as Drawn to Life and Lock's Quest. I could mention how fantastic the early trailers for Scribblenauts are, and how excited I was to finally get to see the game. I could talk about how the concept behind the game is to use objects to achieve goals, and how those objects are only limited to the game's robust, 10,000 word dictionary. I could do all of that.

Instead, here's a list of words that I typed into Scribblenauts that actually created objects that I could use to solve puzzles in the title:

  • Beaver
  • Bulldozer
  • Chainsaw
  • Hose
  • Sword
  • Helicopter
  • Dragon
  • Cat
  • Ceiling Cat
  • Long Cat
  • Cthulhu
  • Axe
  • Football
  • Octopus
  • Zombie

And here are some things I did with them:

  • Had a beaver cut down a tree.
  • Put a hose in a whale's blowhole.
  • Had a bulldozer push a whale into the water.
  • Fought a Dragon with a sword.
  • Fought a Dragon with a chainsaw.
  • Was watched by Ceiling Cat.
  • Flipped a helicopter around and crashed.
  • Stared in awe as Cthulhu appeared.
  • Had Long Cat fight a Zombie. Long Cat won. Seriously.

And now, a few words I forgot to type in but wish that I did:

  • Icosahedron
  • Dungeon
  • Dungeon Master
  • Nerd
  • Geek
  • Invisible Bike
  • Cheezburger

Needless to say, my time spent with Scribblenauts was fantastic and, well, not lengthy enough. After trying for a few minutes I was able to stump the game's dictionary, but it was pretty hard, and there was usually a good excuse (see: copyright infringement). The developers promised over 200 levels, meaning there's definitely a lot to do with the thousands of items in the game.

What words are you going to try when Scribblenauts is finally released?
