Words with Friends
Words with Friends is one of the most popular words games on the mobile platform for several years running. Developed and published by Zynga, the game was eventually ported over to the PCs through the social network, Facebook. In terms of gameplay, Words with Friends has similar mechanics with the timeless classic board game, Scrabble, but with some interesting twists that had made the game a lot more fun and entertaining. For instance, the placement of the bonus tiles in this game is quite different from a traditional Scrabble board, and of course, the board size a much larger in the former as well.Another interesting aspect that made Words with Friends more approachable especially to newcomers is that players aren't penalized for putting in incorrect words that were challenged by your opponent. The dictionary used in Words with Friends, however, is a lot more lenient and accepts quite a number of "new-gen words". It also offers leaderboards to keep track on the scores and real time matches against friends or other players online.
Words with Friends may now face a lot of competition from similar word games nowadays, but back when it was first released, the game was HUGE! The game is still fun today and with the exciting updates that Zynga releases from time to time, the game will be kept going for years to come.
