do you play words with friends?

12 years ago

I am addicted to this game. Funny, I never got into scrabble cos it was too boring, but I love the fact that you can take all the time to answer. I've mulled over some answers for hours, and some just come to me right away. I'm getting better, but I've only been playing for a couple months. Took me a while to figure it out. If anyone wants to play, I'm open.

Not sure if you have to have a similar phone device to play? I have an iphone and all the people I play with have iphones.

I've been playing for quite awhile. Loved it for months, starting to lose interest now. I'm playing more Scramble, which is basically boggle with Friends.

I think both are available in the Android market, as well as iPhone.

No, but I'm quite addicted to "boring" Scrabble. LOL I play against the computer online, and with friends in person.

My friends keep asking me to play but I don't want to. Even though I do like Scrabble. I've heard a lot of people cheat at the game and even admit to doing it. I am SO addicted to Angry Birds though! I haven't played games like this one since Mario Brothers first came out. lol. I stopped playing when all the Nintendo controllers got complicated. Angry Birds is fun because it's not timed, and it has a lot of little secrets like Mario had. Before I got my iPad, I kept hearing about Angry Birds constantly. They even sell stuffed animals. I had no idea what the big deal was. It's a huge deal. lol. I believe it's the most popular game out there right now. There's fun strategy, too. I kind of got off topic didn't I? It's my addiction talking. :)

why was there a limit of 5 words put on this anyway So the game would go faster and people wouldn't end up skipping posts because it was taking them so long thinking of words. Plus... I just like to see who can follow the rules. LOTS of rebels here at the KT! lol

No - but i am totally addicted to Word Warp - it gives you 5 letters and you have to arrange them in as many words as possible in 2 minutes. If you get at least one of the longest words you go on to the next level. I play it on my iTouch/iPad. You play as a single player - and you don't have to be online to play it. Totally ADICTIVE! It was free.

Like Alisande says you can play as much or as little as you desire. The nice thing is you can mull over a turn for as long as you want without the other person knowing you just can't put a word together. They just think you are at work or something, lol. Not like scrabble where people are biting at the bit for their turn. That's why I said scrabble was boring in that one post, Alisande, because you do have to sit there and wait and if you are playing with a slower player the time gets really long. I do disagree on going to the dictionary, though. I hope I'm not cheating, but I go to the scrabble words lists online with the q, z, and j words to see if there is a word I can play. There's a lot of weird words I never knew existed. Zein, Qi, Za, corf. I've learned many words I didn't know before. And a lot of times I will just put combinations of letters in not sure if it's a word, and once in a while you get a shocker. That's how I discovered corf was a word (for a triple/triple score). If it's not a word the game will tell you and then you just push OK and recall your letters.

I love this game, and I like to play on my iPad. I also like that you can play your move when you have a chance. If you'd like another partner.. email me through My Page. I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment.

I'd love to play, Susan. I'll email you. I'm not very good, so be prepared to win. I think I've only won two games of all the games I've played, so don't expect too much.

I like to play Scramble sometimes because there are only six turns so the game goes a bit faster. I'm moderately good at both Scramble and Words so most of my friends won't play with me. LOL!

I just started playing words last week and I've got games going with DH and DD right now. I love it because I can play with DH right next to me and DD 1000 miles away. Neither one of them has beaten me yet, but DD has a good chance this time.

Sleeperblues, Scramble with Friends is like Boggle where you make as many words as you can in a limited time from a preset grid. The grid changes for each round of play.

I play Words with Friends with my DD, for about 3 months now. We're usually playing 2 games at a time. She's beating me 10-8! We just started 2 new games.

DH and I play Scrabble Scramble. Moves a lot faster than Scrabble. You only have one word to play off of.
