Challenge Yourself to a Game of Words with Friends
OK, admit it – you’ve played words with friends at work. Your not alone. With upwards of 12.5 million users, this fairly new word game for android phones and PC’s has grown by leaps and bounds. Alec Baldwin may have given the game a huge boost when he refused to leave his seat on an American Airlines flight during an especially heated game. How many game developers can enjoy free publicity from a movie star?
Words with Friends is essentially Scrabble-on-the-Go since you can play it on your cell phone as well as your PC. You can play with any other FB user or you can start a game with a friend or someone you don’t even know. There’s always someone itching for a challenge. It can spell L O V E for some and it has even been credited with saving a life.
New sites have popped up to help find words starting with or ending with difficult letters, like Z. And if you just want to see if a combination of letters might be a real word, just type it in, hit play, submit and it will tell you if it’s a real word or not. Then of course there are those who will always try to find a way to cheat the game. (Of course the creator of this cheat site added a disclaimer: I created this Words With Friends cheat board as an exploration of artificial intelligence algorithms.) So of course it’s OK because it’s just an exploration. If you’re REALLY good at this game, there are even tournament sites to show off your word-building talents!
When you tire of Words with Friends, there are other new games - Chess with Friends is now available!
