I. Love. Words. With. Friends.
I love it.
I do.
And I’m not even particularly good at it.
I currently have 16 games going on.
Yes.
16.
For those who are unfamiliar with the game, it’s Scrabble, but you play online.
The game can take minutes, hours, days or weeks, as most participants (like me) have to go about their daily lives in the midst of playing.
My “active” time is early morning and late night. I get as much WWF in as I can during those times.
Because it’s fun.
Real Man started playing, also, and I love playing against him.
We both love playing Scrabble together, but don’t get a lot of time to sit down together with the actual board.
This is an excellent solution.
Despite the name, you don’t actually have to play with friends.
You can start a game with random people, as well.
Could save your life.
Don’t believe me?
The monkeys like to make suggestions for “words.”
The quote marks are due to the fact that most of the words that Monkey in the Middle suggests aren’t actual words, but really great efforts to get me as many points as possible.
Words like “JZXQ.”
God, I wish that was a word.
So, I suggest Words With Friends for anyone who likes to play Scrabble or just likes to exercise their brain.
It is absolutely addicting, but a healthy addiction…if there is such a thing.
Great minds think alike. I just downloaded the free Scrabble AP on my new iPad and am playing against strangers as well. Have to get up to speed so who knows, perhaps we are playing opposite each other :0) I too love, love it!!! Who said Math people can’t be wordsmiths too.

We love it. Derek got me hooked. Its a huge game among the high schoolers. Love that fact. Hate that they play throughout the day when they should be doing other things – say, listening in class & doing classwork.
