As strange as it might sound, word games are cool. Two in particular ("Words with Friends" and "Hanging with Friends") have been very popular lately. Like the Doodle Jump of the last couple weeks its become common to hear during class, "Oh my gosh... so-and-so like won't solve my word on Words with Friends!" and I find this funny. Firstly because I've been playing these games for a while now (yeah, I know, I'm cool) and secondly because, well-- they're word games... WWF is basically digital scrabble and HWF is a delightful twist on hangman and I think this is funny because most people don't consider vocabulary to be "fun" (not sure why). Usually the cool games are, like I mentioned earlier, Doodle Jump or Bubble Buster but now we're playing a game that actually requires us to use our brains, weird! I mean don't get me wrong, I LOVE word games, these two especially, and I myself am an avid player. Alas, by the end of this week however, they will probably be lame and we'll all move on to some other game to play under our desks when the teacher isn't looking. But it was fun while it lasted and I won't stop playing anytime soon so for you other vocabulary lovers, start a game with me: abizzleforizzle. <3
