Aside from being a geek, Iรขโฌ™m also a big nerd and part of that is being obsessed with word games. Since I canรขโฌ™t find a decent free Scrabble game available in the Android Market (thatรขโฌ™s not country specific), this was like a gift from heaven. It also has the added bonus of getting to play with friends since itรขโฌ™s synced with Facebook.
Starting the game for the first time requires you to create an account and this is where youรขโฌ™ll also be asked if you want to integrate the app with Facebook. The game screen shows the whole game board that you can pinch to zoom in and out to view the tiles up close.
At the bottom are your playable tiles including additional controls like recalling, shuffling and actually playing the tiles you chose.
The game updates every few minutes and it just takes a while to sync moves with Facebook. I think this is the only flaw because you canรขโฌ™t see your opponents move immediately. The good thing is, once the game is synced, youรขโฌ™ll be notified of your turn. Thereรขโฌ™s also a built-in chat within the game so that you can taunt and trash talk your opponent.
So far, Iรขโฌ™m having fun with the game especially when Iรขโฌ™m getting creamed by my opponent. Thereรขโฌ™s always the option for a rematch and payback.
Words with Friends is available on the Android Market for Free
