description Words With Friends Overview

Words With Friends is an online multiplayer word game developed by Newtoy and first released in 2009; it is now associated with Zynga. Players take turns placing letters to build interlocking words on a crossword-style board, with games able to continue asynchronously rather than requiring both participants to play at the same time. Its rules and board structure are closely related to traditional tile-based word games, making it suited to casual competitive play with friends or other online opponents.
