Words with Friends
Just another day at the office
Update: How does one dominate in one turn? Like this!
It’s been quite some time since I’ve been able to sit down and write something meaningful or witty. I’d like to say that I now have something amazing to share with my readers, but I can only think about one thing: Words with Friends.
A company out of McKinney, TX called Newtoy has created a version of Scrabble for the iPhone. The application basically allows a user to play scrabble with friends, strangers, or if you’re too good for either, against yourself.
What’s so great about Words with Friends? Offworld’s Brandon Boyer has said it best, “Words With Friends — both the paid version, and its ad-supported free sibling — is lean, streamlined, and does nothing more than what it’s meant to do: give you a quick-burst next move in the minute and a half you have to fiddle with your iPhone in between life’s everything else”.
He’s absolutely right! It’s pretty rare that I have a solid hour or two to sit down with a friend (or stranger…or myself) and play a game of Scrabble. This app has changed the game (if you will). You can let a game of Scrabble linger for hours, days, or even weeks — just don’t play me if you take that long.
Fair warning to any and every person who decides to play: Words with Friends is a bit like crack. You decide to try it, like the initial rush, and BAM…you’re hooked! One week later you’re skipping dinner plans to do research on words that use the letters “Q” and “Z”. I know about 10 people who can give me an AMEN on that.
Download the app, clear your schedule, and bring it on!
