I have the official Scrabble app, but only have Words with Friends Free version. Can I play online games on Words with Friends free? I have Skywords as well, which is Upwords for Iphone. I’ve never played anything but random games and pass-and-play with my wife. How can we do this? My nickname on these games is Mahaloth, just like here. Anyone up for it? I’d even consider making some kind of Scrabble-Doper-league or something if we have enough interest. Interest? I’ve just seen a few threads on these games before and wouldn’t mind heading up something like this. 🙂 ---

My life is much busier than it was a few months ago when I was playing a lot more WWF, but I’m still game. As long as people don’t mind the fact that I’ll often go a couple of days between making a move, then bring it. Same username as here. ---

Hal, I started a game with you. I’ll add the others now. Again, like Hal said, multiple days may be required for games to play. ---

I hate WWF, but if any dopers wanna play [Wordfeud](http://wordfeud.com/) or [Wordsmith Android](http://www.appbrain.com/app/wordsmith/com.secondbreakfast.games.wordsmith.pro) / [iPhone](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordsmith-lite/id444500767?mt=8), I’m up. I play with several Dopers / Raffers. Just start a game with **hrhomer** , and send a chat mentioning the Dope… Joe ---

Multiple days are fine, I play usually during work and when I’m waking up in the morning. How is the Scrabble iPhone app? I thought about buying it. ---

**JohnT\_15** (Android user though, if that matters) I’ve never played, just downloaded because of this thread. Let me know you’re from the Dope and I’ll join ya. ---

I play as “Monika C.” on both Words w Friends and Hanging w Friends. Same caveat about erratic game response times. I’m also currently getting my ass handed back to me on WWF so apparently if you play against me you’ll feel super-smart! ---

I’m also currently getting my ass handed back to me on WWF so apparently if you play against me you’ll feel super-smart! I just tried again, and it still says “user not found”. Ugh! I’d love to play with you. ---

Ah, that’s why. :smack: Try again: “Monika Cage” Didn’t realize I was using my full name on that app but whatever. Now you all know my secret identity!!! Sorry about that. Told ya you’d feel smart! Oh, and Hal B. and Mahaloth - I’ve sent you each a WwF game. ---

I assume we all play legit, which is why I came to the Dope. No outside aids!!! ---

Mswhatsit, same as here. Like others, I tend to be a very slow player. (On Words With Friends. I don’t have the official Scrabble app.) ---

Anyone play Scramble with Friends? I think it’s like Boggle. Name’s the same on WwF, if you want a game. ---

**Alice** , did that help? Also, a plea/plug for the related Hanging With Friends, which is hangman-style instead of Scrabble style. It’s a lot of fun, too. Also, **Mr Horeshoe** sometimes leaves me waiting for days on end, so I need more opponents. It’s a free app - send me a game! ---

Part of the reason I have less time for WWF is because of Scramble with Friends. 🙂 Name’s the same, feel free to challenge. ---

Holy cow, I have a running game with every Doper in this thread! (Except for **wheresgeorge** since he’s a stinky poopyhead who doesn’t want to play with the rest of us.) One of you: those aren’t words.
