This week a friend on mine led me on to a very cool app called Words. This app is basically a free version of Scrabble that you can play with anyone who has an iPhone at any time. The real win of the app is that you can chat and play at you own pase. The game could last an hour or how ever many weeks you want it to go.
Words free lets you make a move, close the app, and wait until your opponent gets a notification of his/her turn, makes a move, and get notified yourself of when you turn is up. The app is completely free and worth checking out for anyone who likes to play Scrabble with friends or unknown even if you don’t have the time to do so in one sitting. You can either search for users to play with using your contact list, or search by user name. If you don’t know anyone with the game yet, you can play a random opponent. Finally, Words With Friends also has a mode for local play if you want to play against a friend using a single device.
Either way, both games are free and supported via in-game advertising and Words With Friends has a premium version for $2.99 that you can buy if you want to support the developer and/or don’t like looking at ads. I haven’t had any problems with mine except crashing once but i get that many times even on my Facebook app. It’s a great free game and i guess it helps with you vocabulary too.
