Words With Friends With Benefits
We are so good at flirting on Words With Friends that the Wall Street Journal called us for tips.
(As a side note, has anyone else noticed that the Words with Friends mobile app very annoyingly changed their little notification today so that it says “[Random Facebook Friend] has made a move! ….on Words With Friends, that is.” Hardy har har, Words With Friends!
