I love words and clever writing. I'm not however a huge fan of board games with only one notable exception. I've always been a fan of the board game scrabble. 

That's not to say I'm any good at it per se but I do enjoy it. However living alone has its drawbacks in that I have no one to play with.

Until now. A good friend of mine has introduced me to Wordfeud. Wordfeud is essentially scrabble on a cell phone with remote opponents. Now I couldn't tell you if the board and values are the exactly the same since I never really paid close attention to the board and letter points but game play is the same.

Lay out words on the board using letter tiles and taking into account score modifier squares on the board.

You create a simple login and you can then play with people you know by inviting them to a game by username or you can choose a random opponent. It's only two player so far as I can tell and the relaxed online pace is nice. It include hooks into the notification system of android so you can place your word and go on with your life and receive a notification when its your turn again. Nice touch in my opinion.

Wordfeud is available as an ad supported free version or a paid version. The ad placement is a bit annoying, coming full screen after you place your tile, but is a simple price to pay for a full featured scrabble clone in my opinion.

There's even a chat option. In the game but I haven't seen that in action so I can't comment on how well it works. I've tried chatting to opponents but no one responded. I'm unsure if that's a limitation on the free version or a bug but it would be handy if I worked if only to tell people your going afk and will resume later. Overall though I'm unconcerned about that.

I give this app 2 thumbs up. I mean really, who doesn't like scrabble? If you want to play hit me there. My username is dissident75. Let's play guys!
