The horror?

Honestly, I was contemplating getting an iPhone, if only because most of my friends play this game obsessively, and the WordFeud app in Android is a poor substitute. Now that I can play WwF with my …um …friends… I can with a clear mind happily wait for my Thunderbolt.

So that your iPhone carrying friends can beat you AND your Android. 😉

I prefer Wordfeud, actually. It’s faster and you don’t have to shake the phone to shuffle your letters.
