Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
When our email provider was no longer available, we needed to contact Zynga support. They were very quick and helpful. We especially like the teams. We also appreciate the new types of games they introduce.
We have been playing since 2012. Learning new words. Having lots of fun. Have met new friends. Great game.
This game is so fun. It keeps you on your toes by testing your spelling skills and introducing you to a whole community of scrabble lovers. Yes, it's just like the old boardgame Scrabble but better. You can play anywhere, anytime. 100% recommend.
Instead of putting your resources into stealing other peoples games, why not focus on what youre good at?? Words. With. Friends. The speed games were awesome, but you got rid of them in favor of these stupid daily puzzles? They are annoying, and there is no way to hide them. We are here to play words with friends, like with other people. We all know where to find Wordle if we want to play it.
Ive been playing this game for a few years now and enjoy it immensely. This game is rated for different ages and is good for your cognitive memory.. We recommend this game to anybody who loves words.
Super fun and entertaining game . Very competitive and a great game to pass time.
We have been playing for a few years now, and this is our go to relax game. We play almost daily. We also get to learn and advance our vocabulary.
Enjoy playing with our family and friends from other states! Sending each other messages is great! Teasing as we make our moves! Thank you.
This game is great! A great way to lose the stress of a long work day.
We've been playing with the same woman for 15 years. She said, "You are the best friend that we've never met"! But then we both drove two hours and met for the first time after chatting almost every day for 15 years! It was a very special moment for us and we will continue our friendship for years to come.
We can have alot of games going and love the challenges of winning or losing.
We Am An American That Has Been Playing Words With Friends Ever Since 2009. This Game Is Addictive! No matter what time it is WWF/WWF2 is always opened for you to begin a game. The other additions that have taken place within WWF/WWF2 are tremendously brilliant. In the very beginning we were mesmerized by the people that were playing from India, Argentina, Australia and many countries. We flew to Oregon & Washington State to visit with gamers. In April 2010 & 2011 Im flying to Atlanta 2023 we will see another gamer as 2 of our daughters live in Georgia. There are so many possibilities playing WORDS WITH FRIENDS! So play! The Additions To The Game Is More Challenging & Interesting.
We are having problems playing/connecting a game with Connie Sensmeier. Can you help? Still waiting for help.
We like Words With Friends. We find the lengthy frequent ads unpleasant.
The ads are too long and sometimes there is no X to close them.
When we have idle time WWF gets played for sure.
Please note that youll need to add the states on the APP so we can change it.
Great game to play with distant family.
We love this game.. It keeps our mind sharper. Makes us think and remember, decide how to meet the challenge. Thank you! To many ads though.
As long as trump does not try to take ownership of this game and tries to put his name in the title, we will always love this. It relaxes our brain from Sleepy Donald Trump.
We have been playing for a little over 12 years almost daily.
Good past time and enhance your memory! Love it.
We love playing this game. We play with our mom and other friends. We hate that you make weekly goals unattainable, and not consistent. Its also frustrating when you have a weekly goal, like play two Ps in one word in a classic game. Ive completed that at least 4 times with no credit to move forward. We feel like you require more of the players, but not the responsibility to make things right. Its a love-hate relationship.
This is a fantastic app. We use it every day. We play with family and friends and have a blast! It is great for all ages. Our niece (11) plays as well!! A thousand percent recommend.
We use the broken part of our brain to put words together.
This is a great game to play with friends. It keeps us connected and is lots of fun.
Takes our time, boredom, away. Time we lose sometimes. Rarely get bored. Definitely expands our mind and vocabulary. Tire of the commercials often. But really like the game.
Ive been playing this game for over 11 yrs.. Met lifelong players, learned words we never knew before. Love Love this game.
Fun game. Never get tired of playing.
All is good except for a few bad eggs that think this is Tinder! Some people just want to say Nice play – good word, etc, but others are weird. Ive learned to just block them – you live, you learn.
Once you've figured out how to navigate around the endless ads, it's a super fun app.
We find the ads so annoying! Almost to the point of deleting the app! We spend more time xing out of the ads than actually playing the game.
Great game just be careful of the spammers trying to take all your money through google hangout we dont get it.
We enjoy words with friends very much, it is a way to relax in the evenings after a long day.
We love words with friends, and Ive been playing for years, but they dont offer a yearly subscription which is a shame because we would pay to play without the annoying ads.
Words with Friends challenges you to learn new words, with some fun competition. Ive also made a nice friend we visit with a little, weve helped each other at times you just need to hear and have fun with a friend. Thank you.
Its wonderful to have this game to play – especially for those who are home slot for whatever reasons. We want to thank the creators for this.
We love playing this game and it has a lot of good features. Ive played for a long time and over time the number of ads has increased and the useful rewards, we.e coins that can be used to play games, has decreased. You can pay to remove the ads making the game expensive on top of it all. Ive messaged with the help staff about this and they suggested we adjust our expectations. We just dont like the game like we used to and have realized that its just all about the money.
This game is awesome, but we think you should add the word wheel as a daily game, and the dice game so you can choose who you play with and talk to people in it.
Needs to give out more free coins.
The only issue is that scammers are constantly private messaging us. If you ignore them or will not go to another site to chat with them, they stop playing the game and clog up your list of players, WWF. We report these scammers and WWF gives ME a warning that we will be the one who they will boot off. That is messed up, WWF, for heaven's sake.
We are simply addicted to playing Words with Friends, even though we play with complete strangers. We love studying and playing with words, Im elderly and cant go out much, so it gives us something to entertain us and to challenge our mind.
This is our favorite game! Always a challenge.
We grew up playing scrabble with our mom and siblings. We love Words with Friends so we can continue playing with each other from our homes on the app. Were addicted to the game and are very competitive with each other. Also have friends we play with daily. This is our favorite game.
Words with Friends is our daily brain exercise. We can play it for hours. Great way to exercise your mind and a challenging way to score as many points each game as you can.
This game has forced us to read more.
Been playing 13+ years! Love the game. Prefer some of the old points we use to get. Miss some of the old qualities but game is still GREAT.
We love the new games such as Word Search, word lock and cross words Not so much Word Guess.
We play WWF to try and keep our brain sharp and we also enjoy very much the challenge of finding the words. We have been playing for many years and definitely feel that our match opponents are friends.
This is our go to game. We play multiple times per day. NYT games only last so long. Words with Friends is always there.
