Sloppy Rules, Words with Friends
I want to review an aspect of the English version of the game, “Words with Friends.” It’s a satisfying-enough way to waste time — thinking of words that might fit very much like Scrabble — except for their absurd allowance of some (but not all) proper English nouns such as names, some foreign words in a few languages, but most frustratingly… unreal or undefined words. Surely the French version doesn’t allow these slip-ins! I suggest there be added a toggle setting located somewhere near the language selection to enable a player to play “traditional rules” which would as nearly as legally possible mirror those of the original game. More challenging for point-hungry players, but more integrity for those of us who don’t love the slop. Players with this toggle on will somehow be indicated and algorithmically find each other or be paired, right, programmers? Thanks.
