I sadly never played that game with my kids but maybe (hopefully in more than a few years) will play it with grandkids. I like to play to play, win or lose. I became less enchanted with playing Word with Friends with someone who scored a very high word and then had the audacity to say they had used a "cheat" type of system to get the word they used (which was a word I never heard of). The challenge is figuring out words not letting a computer program do it for you. Took the fun away from playing with them (and my competitive streak kicked in because I vowed to win that game though they had an impressive lead and I did).<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-50302079555047703962015-05-22T09:07:37.338-04:002015-05-22T09:07:37.338-04:00True.
