I have a friend who’s burning out on WWF. (No, not because I beat him too much – we’re actually quite evenly matched.)

Is there another game with alternating turns where you can chat on the side that is not Scrabble-based? He plays on an iPhone and I play on a PC.

The other two big Zynga games - Hangin’ with Friends (hangman) and Scramble with Friends (Boggle).

Draw Something is supposedly about to implement a chat function. If it does, it will be the perfect app for you.

Yeah, another friend is playing that – but I’m on a PC. Sounds more Mac-cy, not sure how that would work.
