Token Female Gamer

Always a bummer when I can’t play the words I would like to play. Doesn’t keep me from trying.

My highest Words with Friends word yet! 153 points is not too shabby. =)

Played ‘Mistake’ my previous turn and thought myself quite clever as the word nestled right in between two Triple Word bonuses. My fabulous opponent didn’t take advantage, so I had the chance to play Zeps on the Triple Word bonus with the Z landing on a Triple Letter bonus.

Zep, BTW, is the name of a large sandwich, and yes I had to look it  up. =P

The single iPad in our house really belongs to my husband. This has never posed a problem, as I haven’t found much use for it. Then he shared Battleheart with me. This addictive little game is almost good enough to cause iPad fights.

Although Battleheart is a very accomplished game, the few items of great annoyance have tempered my addiction enough to save us from having to purchase iPad #2. =)

I dont often find a word that hits a triple letter and a triple word this perfectly. Little bit of luck and getting better at aiming for those triple words resulted in ‘jots’ for 99pts. Yes, I’m a little proud. I believe this is the highest total points I have gotten in a single word thus far.

And before you ask, I am indeed still playing Words with Friends (even though I have since deleted the dreaded Hanging with Friends). My devotion to WWF is incomprehensibly strong.

Then again, how can I afford to quit after such a fabulous score? =P

As we were strolling through our neighborhood this afternoon, we saw this hilarious cake displayed in a local bakery. Sorry for the poor picture quality, but cellphone picts were my only option at the time.
Never the less its a great looking cake. Feast your eyes. =D

With Zynga’s purchase of the Words with Friends title, it was only a matter of time before the onslaught of ‘with friends’ titles began. I am positive that ‘Hanging with Friends’ is mainly the flagship, the forerunner in the ‘with Friends’ campaign that Zynga will launch on the social and mobile networks. Quantity over quality does seem to be their modus operandi.

But my Words with Friends devotion overshadowed any Zynga concerns and so I tried the new Hanging with Friends.

Lots of Words with Friends lately. Somehow a bunch of friends have found on me on the WWF. Or maybe the word has gotten around that I’m an easy win. I blame Facebook. =P

Thought I would share a few highlights.

One sort of strategy that I mostly aim for is trying to garner as many points for as few letters as possible (small words are flat out easier to find). Love the symmetry on the OX play and 54 points for two little letters. Not my move, but worthy of a mention, because really two letter move for 54 points!!!

Some of my favorite shorts have been “wit” for 48 points, ‘jam’ for 45, ‘chef’ for 76, and ‘goes’ for 63. Thats right people, not a single Q or Z to be found. =D

I think the image speaks for itself.

Beware what information you share with your Words with Friends opponents, they may find occasion to KCUF you.

<<—- My latest WWF game is proof. Trusting little me announced, quite happily surprised that, hey I could make a word, and looky here, its ‘guide’. Neato right?

It would have been, had I not been sharing my joy with my fiendish Words with Friends opponent.

This Frienemy clearly had it out to use up my already claimed G and succeeded in locking up the only usable G in the game. /cry

Foolish me to think I was playing with friends. It really should be called Words with Frienemies.

So I have this friend, let’s call him something generic like “Patsy”, he is the reason I am playing Words with Friends (WWF). That’s right, Patsy is my Words with Friends pusher. (Damn you Patsy!!)

Well it gets worse, he is the luckiest WWF player I know. Oooh, maybe he invited me just so he could have another person to beat; conspiracy theories abound.

But I finally figured out how to beat him. Muah!! Words with Friends with Themes. (Side note: the whole theme thing will only work if both parties actually stick to the theme to the best of their abilities.)
