I like Facebook Scrabble. Since its rebirth on Facebook, Scrabble has become more than just a nerdy board game for family night. Triple word scores are now part of the numerous ways in which relatives, friends and colleagues can keep in touch from miles away (or the next cubicle over). The games can last for days or hours--depending on how much time you have to kill hanging around on the Book of Faces.The kick-start to the Facebook Scrabble craze began with a knockoff version of the game created by a couple of rouge developers. Their game's popularity ended up being what did them in, as the real Scrabble moved in and put an end to the application. Months prior to that lawsuit being official in courts, the game was back, was flashier, and had a branded Scrabble skin.
Facebook Scrabble turns out to be more education than one would think, as well. Where else could you learn that poyou is a South American armadillo? That nugget of knowledge came from Spar, who is trying desperately to beat me. Because he had junk letters and randomly tried various combinations, he ended up with poyou. Ridiculous. Of course, I scored 82 points with Prez.So anyone who wants a game, just challenge me on Facebook and prepare to be defeated.
I hear a challenge
ReplyDeleteOk while I appreciate the shout out in the daily blog, I contest this accusation of having "junk letters". Just because you didn't know about the nocturnal animal with 6 movable bands and hairy under parts, do not assume that I made this up and got lucky. While I try to keep you up to date on the culture and habitat of our neighbor to the south, you simultaneously act as though your 82 pt "prez" is used in the Locke vernacular daily. In the future, I may not teach you so many words.
ReplyDeleteOne day I will be the Prez.
