Dang that Kathy Mueller...she introduced me to "Words w/Friends" on facebook and now I have one more thing to distract me at night. I am currently playing a game with Kathy and a game with my cousin Devin...seriously thinking about roping Lori and Melissa in for a friendly game...Anyone?
The problem is...I spend so much time looking for the perfect word. I find a word that sounds like it might be a word and then I look it up in the dictionary and if it is truly a word I will often score large points, if it is not a word, I spend 10 more minutes looking for something else.
Example: I could use just "long" or "gone", but no...I have to find "Flong" - the material of which a stereotype mold is made (in case you are wondering).
Who knew?
I figure I can maybe learn some new words while I'm playing the game - perhaps I can impress my new online grammar teacher with my prowess in vocabulary.
I Am Grateful,
HB

The boys have just started playing that....I think E added the App to his phone. Rope them in. They play against each other in different rooms of the house. That was a big thing around here for a while, everyone I knew had about 8 games going at all times. That phase has passed. It is not my cup of tea.....to much work for this brain of mine.
ReplyDeleteI totally hear you about trying to find a big word to get more points. I play with Tory and one other friend. I would love to play a game with you. I am sure I will get creamed since you read a ton and you are now in a grammar class, but I'm okay with that. :)
ReplyDeleteI used to play that and I could never beat my mom, so I got one of those apps that helps you cheat, TOLD HER I was using it and she still beat me. That was a sad moment when I realized I would never be as good at word games as she is. You're always welcome to play with her. She's so addicted!
