I get a ton of requests to try new iPhone apps, specifically iPhone games. I have to say, the best ones usually come from word of mouth, and Words with Friends is a perfect example. Words with Friends is basically scrabble for the iPhone/iPod Touch, but what makes it fun is the ability to play with your friends. Here’s how it works:
Once you invite a friend to play, then you lay down your tiles to make the first word. The game will then alert your friend that it’s his turn. He’ll make his move on his own time and then send it back to you. A full game could take a week or two, depending on how often each of you plays. I love the fact that it doesn’t have to take much time. You make one move per active game at a time, and put the game away. You don’t fall into the trap of an addicting game that can go on and on and on for hours! There is a free version, supported by ads, and a paid version for $2.99. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it!

I thought that you gave up on the iPhone after your screen was damaged by the bike repair guy?

I did, but was kind of forced into getting another one. I played with a bunch of phones and wasn’t happy with any of them. I got the iPhone again, and then the Droid came out, and now I’m wishing I’d waited!

Hi Cali,
This game (Words with Friends) is great. I’m playing with my 16-year-old son. Good vocabulary builder for kids. I have also started playing Flood-It (free version.)

Please do something about the people that do not continue playing!! I have people for over 25 days!!! When will this be fixed? It is so frustrating. Especially when you are addicted to this game and need to play 20 at a time..Please fix this!!! THX
