Words with Friends

I should have learned my lesson from what happened when Avi convinced me to download Angry Birds.  I began ever so slightly obsessed with flinging little birds at green pigs and vowed to not download another addicting game.  

Never say never, right? A few weeks ago my friend Robyn began telling me how fun Words with Friends is. I had seen facebook statuses (statusi?) about people playing games and vowed (big mistake) to not get hooked on this game. 

Well, Robyn convinced me to download it, and I won't say it was a mistake. I am actually really enjoying playing and as of last night I have 8 games with 3 people open right now. 

What I find really exciting is that when I play on my phone there is less pressure.  When I would play in person with my brother-in-law, scrabble player extraordinaire, I was insanely intimidated. But via phone? No pressure, I take my time and am actually getting pretty good at this game!   

 129 points for quiz? Yes please! This move's score brought to you by a triple word tile and a triple letter tile. Super sweet, none the less!

 Ben, is infamous for being able to use all  of his tiles and get the amazing 50 point bonus, but I was never able to put together words with all my tiles, until I discovered reindeer in my tiles. Not only did I get a 50 point bonus I had the word on the double word tile and a triple letter tile.  Icing on the reindeer? This came was against Ben!

 The cherry on the icing on the reindeer? Beating Ben for the first time EVER in a game of scrabble.  Vengeance is a dish best served via iphone app!

So, never say never, but I can totally justify this as educational and good my vocabulary? Right? Great? Now excuse me, it's my turn!
