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.rydawg5;1171269 wrote: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.

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.Fly4Fun;1171270 wrote:I play sometimes.

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.THE4RINGZ;1171334 wrote: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.

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.THE4RINGZ;1171334 wrote: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.

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.Commander of Awesome;1171462 wrote:I had it for a while, got sick of it and deleted it. Found the same to be true with Draw Something.

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

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.ts1227;1171562 wrote:I sometimes do this when playing my fiance.

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.

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

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.justincredible;1171626 wrote:lol, so instead of drawing a cat they just write the word cat?

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.

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.

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.
