We all know and love Scrabble, the iconic Hasbro game that pops up at many a family reunion and holiday gathering. I once beat my uncle with VOYEUR on my last turn, a stroke of luck that likely won't ever be repeated. Well, maybe. I'm practicing.
Words with Friends is a similar game, made for the iPhone, Touch, and iPad devices, that lets you compete with friends anywhere - and at any pace. I'm playing Words with Friends with an old professor, my friend's husband, and an ex-boyfriend (among others) - and it's been at least a week since I've made a move. But the second I'm bored in line at the grocery store - you better believe my Scrabble-honed techniques are coming out.
