Words with Friends
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!
