Words with Friends

• rydawg5

  Anyone else play this game? I'm addicted - Would be interested to know if you play words you know or just try to play anything that works.
  
  If anyone is up for a game let me know.

  I play sometimes. But it's called words with friends, so I'll have to not take you up on your offer.
  
  I generally only play words I know, but if I'm playing against someone who is constantly just throwing up trash, I'll follow their lead.

  Noted. I stop playing with the person if they throw up trash. I don't have time for that. The only time I use questionable words is to build words on words like "ad, el, ut" etc.
  
  
  I'd put some vCash on a game with you though.

  I played for awhile until I found out people had an app which allowed them to play words they didn't even know the definitions to. That ruined it for me.

  Hm I didn't know that but it makes sense now. I have a cousin who is constantly playing words that I've never even heard of and I didn't think she was that smart. Ha I thought she was using a dictionary but this app is what she was using more than likely. That does take a little out of the game for me also.

  I don't use a dictionary or cheat in any way but I won't hesitate to throw letters together hoping that I created a word lol. All I care about is that W!!!!!!!!!

  This. When I got hit with a 500 point word from a friend who can barely spell their own name I asked WTF was up. He told me, I stopped playing.

  I had it for a while, got sick of it and deleted it. Found the same to be true with Draw Something.

  I'll just repeat everyone else. It sucks when people cheat so I no longer play it. I just kick my wife's ass in Scrabble now. Working for the spelling bee for 2 years really boosted my scrabble play.

  This. These games hold my interest for a few weeks, then they just turn into a hassle.

  I've never played draw something. I'd probably just draw weiners or something. Because I'm 12.

  I sometimes do this when playing my fiance.
• Steel Valley Football

  Justin could sketch my wiener from memory even though he can't spell it.

  I wouldn't do that because I'd be afraid of drawing one bigger than mine. Yes I can draw one bigger than mine on a phone.

  Haha yeah I know so much from watching the spelling bee almost every year.
  
  I still play words with friends with a few people because I know they don't cheat. I haven't gotten into Draw Something although I've heard its pretty fun.
• Steel Valley Football

  DrawSomething rules right now. I'm not sick of it yet. Just people who write instead of draw.

  lol, so instead of drawing a cat they just write the word cat?
• Steel Valley Football

  Yes. Though the word is usually much harder than 'cat'. Also people don't take their time - they just pass the minute it gets tough. I got someone to guess 'asteroid', but they spelled it wrong. So they just passed instead of trying again.

  I played drawsomething a lot in March and part of April then got pretty sick of it...I jump on 1-2 times per week now and only 3-4 of my friends still play.
  
  dice with buddies is where it's at for me right now....I also play scramble with friends a bit.
• Laley23

  

  Words with Friends stopped being fun like a year ago. Draw Something was awesome for 2 weeks, then I couldnt stand it.
  
  I would draw extragagent (yet awful) pictures and then circle or use an arrow to point to what portion I wanted you to guess. For instance, if I had shark, it was more fun to draw like 14 different sea creatures, seaweed, a whale, a boat, etc as well as a shark. Then at the end, circle the shark.

  LOL, I thought I was the only one that did that.
  
  I would draw a very detailed person standing outside with trees, and grass, and sky, then circle their mouth at the very end because the word was mouth.
  
  I also played with my dad a little bit and towards the end I would just grab one of my daughter's coloring books and draw a badass picture (usually lion king characters) then write the word at the very end that was completely unrelated to the drawing.
