Words with Friends might be the best word game since Scrabble. You remember Scrabble right? Letters with point values. Creating words on the board that got you the most points. Double letter score, triple word score. Am I really explaining Scrabble to you guys? I should give you all more credit. Anyway, this whole time you're probably thinking, "We know dude. Words With Friends is a total rip off of Scrabble." And I would agree if you weren't so unbelievably wrong.
First off, Words with Friends takes the absolute worst part of Scrabble, actual human interaction, and throws that lameness right out the window. You don’t have to see, talk, smell or even like the person you’re playing against because its on a goddamn phone. CheerChik472 or PoppedColla5 will have to sit there and take it when you drop a word like Zymurgy on their ass. Secondly, with Scrabble you actually have to know that a word is a word before laying it down and you have a time limit. Words with Friends caught onto this really quick and said hey, if you want ten days to make a word or experiment with hundreds of combinations as you try to fit Q and X in the same word, go right ahead friend-o. This guy, for one, couldn't be happier.
Words with Friends makes me feel smarter than I am and helps me forget that pesky problem with social situations. Any chance I get to cheat my friends by looking up the best combo of letters to play on the Internet, I will absolutely do so. Plus it’s about time someone knocked those execrable bastards at Scrabble down a peg. E-X-E-C-R-A-B-L-E. Sixty points on a triple word score.
