Words With Friends Review for iPhone / iPad
My favorite game. Period.
If you like scrabble, then you’ll love Words With Friends. Why? Because put simply, you can play games in the cloud and play them ongoing when you’re free.
I currently have three games going at once. One with an anonymous player, and two with friends. There’s not much to review here as it’s basically Scrabble, but with slightly different letter scoring, and placement of bonus tiles.
The bonus tiles are really in different places and I’m sure that’s how they get away from not being to “Scrabble-ish” and to avoid attorneys. ALl the important things remain however, DW, TW, DL, DL word scores of course. I did notice however that using all of one’s t tiles in a given turn do not net you the additional 50 points as in Scrabble. Bummer as that could have come in handy a few times…
You can create games by searching for a user name, playing a random opponent, using your contact list, or of course, playing sitting next to an opponent and handing the iPhone/iPad off between turns. You can invite your Twitter and Facebook friends, but I didn’t see a place to record your winning games to your favorite social network of choice. No matter, I don’t like to brag anyway.
The game will auto-zoom as you’re ready to place your letter (iPhone version) and you simply drag and drop your letters to place and remove. There’s a quick “recall” to get your letters back after you’ve created a word that doesn’t exist, and then you can start that round over. You can also chat with your opponent via a pop-up chat window. Great to hear kudos, or pass along your feelings. In the end, you can also keep track of the overall rankings as it will keep a running total of wins/losses
Overall the gameplay is spectacular. We give this app a pure 5 out of 5!
For those not ready to lose at this game…You can try Words With Friends Best Cheats. For those I’ve played with…no I haven’t purchased the Cheat App…yet…
