Wizard's Words vs Words with Friends
Wizard's Words
Wizard's Words is a fun word game developed by the casual mobile developer and publisher, Playgendary. It's similar to many other word games in which you have to find a certain series of words based on the letter tiles you get, but what makes this game a lot more interesting is the fact that the tiles are stacked. This also means that once you cleared away a word or two on the upper stack, you'll then move on to solving the middle and subsequently the bottom stack. Naturally, the game has hints to help you out and there are multiple ways for you to earn free hints without shelling out real cash.Wizard's Words puts a really nice twist to the pretty "standard" game design for most word games out there, and that little tweak has made this game stand out among all the other word games. So, if you fancy a word game that's familiar enough and yet different, Wizard's Words is a mobile game you'll want to try!
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.
