Words with friends

Words with friends is an Iphone app that allows users to create multiple scrabble games at once with different friends and have the option to come back to the game when ever it is their turn. The design of this game is so smart it's one of those things that make you wonder why no one did it sooner. Scrabble games are fairly quick games by design and I know a lot of people who like to play scrabble but the problem is finding the time to get together just to play scrabble. This application solves all of those problems at once. You can start a game through your contacts list on your phone or type in someones user name. I have seven different games going now but I'm not sure how many at once you can have. When it is your turn to play the computer automatically sends you a pop up notification and fills in your new letters for you. There is also a chat button so you can send messages back and forth through the application with the person you are playing. The game also has eyes that pop up in the corner of the screen to let you know that your opponent is looking at the board. I feel that the designers of this free app thought of everything you could want to make scrabble fun again with your friends not to mention strengthening your vocabulary. The only downside is that ads will pop up between plays. There is a 99 cent version that eliminates the ad's I believe.
