Words With Friends Free is an iOS word game that lets you go head-to-head with friends or a random, anonymous opponent.
What is Words with Friends?
Reminiscent of the beloved board game Scrabble, Words With Friends Free challenges you to create words and earn points on a virtual game board. Play with your friends either online or offline, or request to compete against an anonymous opponent. Either way, the person who combines the most letter tiles to make words and earns the most points ultimately wins.
How does it work?
Words With Friends Free allows you to invite your friends to get in on the Words With Friends Free fun via Facebook or Twitter right from the app's interface, which is useful.
If you're new to the game, it also lets you register and create a username in a matter of seconds. There's even a simple chat interface if you want to have a conversation with your opponent, friend or foe.
Limitations
One minor frustration about Words With Friends Free is that there is no option for a single-player mode. While this might make sense in a game geared toward multiple user play, some people enjoy practicing on their own with the letter tiles they've been given. It's not really possible on Words With Friends Free.
Although registering and getting yourself set up for gameplay is a relative breeze, figuring out how to actually play isn't quite as simple if you're unfamiliar with word games like this. You might also be stuck waiting a decent amount of time for Words With Friends Free to match you with an anonymous opponent, which isn't ideal.
Overall, Words With Friends Free is a fun word game with fast-paced potential, if the game can find you an opponent.
