Words with Friends
 

Anyone play this ridiculously addicting game? The only person I'm playing with is terpkristin.

Was MsGlass already taken?

SI

I'm playing it with my wife on Andriod.

polirules I play TK religiously Frogman's good for a move every day.

is not true, we played a few times :p


Yep, about one move a day, sometimes more, but I also can disappear for a couple days. :) I go by QcFrogMan in the game though...

I have a feeling TK is going to kill me for using the word "JEED". I have no idea what that is, but it netted me over 100 points.

Is this a FB game? I'm never on there, so I just wondered.

It's a mobile game. First on the Iphone, just recently put on Android. Both OS's can play with each other, too. I believe it can be played on the Ipad and Ipod Touch (maybe not the touch) as well.

I just signed up. CancerStick9118

Somebody hit me up :)

I play it on a Touch. :)

Actually, "JEED" is one of the words I know what it means, unlike some of the other crap you've put down. ;) In horsemanship, to "jee" or "gee" is to turn right (or direct your horse to) and to "haw" is to turn left. Somehow that morphed into "yeehaw" associated with cowboys.

For anybody that doesn't know, I get disgusted with the current Scrabble dictionary. I don't think you should be allowed to put down slang ("za" comes right to mind) or "foreign" words (e.g. the Greek letters, "Chinese" versions of English words--XI, QI--or anything Latin).

Also, when I played Scrabble growing up in my house, we had house rules that you couldn't even go to the dictionary to look up spelling of a word if you didn't have a rough idea of what it meant. That meant that there was no trying to guess random words and crossing your fingers. It also meant we had to make quality words and no "cheap" words came up (such as "OE" which someone played on me the other day--I'll let you look that one up for yourself). It also means I never learned most of the "cheap" two-letter words (and three-letter words).

One thing this game does that really irritates me is doesn't penalize you for guessing. In the board game, if you put down a word and it's not an allowed word, you lose your turn. This one almost encourages it, which makes playing games with people who put down crap randomly hoping for a hit super frustrating.

Alas. It's a game. I actually have a friend who's memorized all the two-letter words (he doesn't know what half of them mean), and that's part of the strategy. Just a completely different strategy for me. When we (my mom, my sister, and I) play at one of our houses, we still use our house rules which frankly makes the game more interesting--and challenging. I just need to learn more shit words.

A guessing option would really be a nice option to have.

Except I think I might be king of crap words. I tend to just put my letters on the board and start mixing and matching. It worked wonders for me a few games back when I dropped DONATED on the board. Without throwing the letters around on the board, I probably never would have got it.

In the case of JEED, I was lamenting I didn't have a "R" for JEER. I was really just messing around with what I had and looked at JEED and thought to myself, "that might be a word". When the point total came back, I about flipped out.

Dola, TK is a lot of fun to play, though. Still can't believe SOX is in the game.

I am always looking for more people to beat me in this game.

Dangit, I just tried to play two words I KNOW are in the Scrabble dictionary. And WWF said not acceptable. Super annoying.

That's funny cuz I used the word "zax" on her that netted me a bunch of points and asked if I knew what it was. She called me out on Facebook too which made me laugh. Now everytime I throw letters up on the board I check to see who I'm playing against, if it's TK I make sure I know what the word means before hitting the submit button :/

angryangush

I'm not very good.

Awwww...

A zax is a tool used in roofing, for cutting the roofing material.

Just because I get frustrated doesn't mean you shouldn't play like you know how. It means I gotta learn more of the crappy words (and sometimes, not have ALL FREAKING VOWELS like I do in my game with Poli...).

BTW, Poli, I may end up resigning that one soon, we locked up the board pretty badly.

/tk

Actually I'm not sure it was you or "just" you on FB. My friend Jason is the one who played "OE" on me the other day, he puts down a TON of crap words. He knows they're legal Scrabble words, just doesn't know what they mean. ;) I've got my sights set on him. :D

Downloaded it and uninstalled it.... the Incredible's battery is shite and this sapped the shit out of it.

Eaglesfan27 and I'm up for a game. :)

Yeah, it definitely kills the battery on my HTC Desire too. I've gotten into the habit of putting my phone on the charger overnight AND when I get in to work as well... yay for battery technology!

I know...shocking

I've challenged everyone in this thread that I didn't already have a game going with.

FWIW, I don't usually re-match after a game because I don't want to make someone feel as if they have to play me (this is same with Carcassone, too). I am always up for a game, so if you want to play, feel free to challenge/re-match. It's a nice distraction from everything else going on right now.

This is exactly how I feel about the game. That being said, I still play it religiously with my dad. If anyone's up for a game, I'm FantasyBandit. He's probably totally up for games as well, he goes by ClickTrack.

Goonies should not be a word.

That's my problem with this game... There are weird things accepted as words. And someone can just keep trying odd combos and lucking out.

there are a lot of words that shouldn't be allowed. i'm pretty sure i've seen someone use "cunt" before. i've used "shit" too, that seems to crack ppl up. if the letters are there, i'll use them even if i don't net a lot of points, just for giggles.

There's a Facebook fan page where you can find a ton of players too.

I still giggle when people use "pee." And my sister felt a need to text message to tell me she'd just playing "douching" against my mother. :D

I used fart today.

But it's a type of bird...

I used twat against someone the other day

I countered with BOOB...or BOOBS. Can't remember now.

And I still think BOWLER should have gotten me the coveted 'PW'...Pumpy Word, worth eleventy billion points.

A stranger dropped dick on me the other day, and I countered with cock. Later on, someone played gay. We both had a laugh. But then parted ways, never having discussed the event with anyone... until today.

True story.

We are still talking about Words with Friends, right?

When I saw this thread from the forum home page with your name as the most recent poster I read it quickly as "Anal with Friends".

Is this a Microsoft product?

I beat my wife in my first ever game (new Android user) after she has historically beaten all of her friends (on iPhone) consistantly (to the point where they've stopped playing with her) and claimed "I'd never beat her" and telling me that "hahah vocabulary isn't really your strong suit"

416-360.

Dude I think this calls for an intervention...
