Wordfeud
Wordfeud is a word game played with others. You can play either with one of your friends on Facebook or with a random player. In the beginning, you are given seven letters. Your purpose is to gain as many points as possible by making up the most complicated words and/or using the most complicated letters.
This can be extremely hard to do, especially when you have got the letters that at first sight seem unusable. The cool part is that you have to build up words using the ones your opponent and you made before.
The languages presented in this game are mostly Scandinavian. There is English, of course, so no worries if you don’t speak Finnish, Dutch or Swedish.

There are two versions of the game. The free one includes ads, but they don’t bother too much. The advantages of the game are (1) that it really makes you think and (2) it weighs only 4 MB. So if you are not afraid of waiting and are into such kind of games, get Wordfeud now and enjoy!
Words With Friends

Just like in Wordfeud, you are able to invite your friends to the game or play with a person chosen randomly for you. Several games can be played at the same time, but we have managed to find an active player who doesn’t keep you waiting very fast – with the first try. (This person is probably angry right now, as this review is being written instead of making a pass))
You can choose one of the most popular European languages, such as Spanish, French, German, Italian, etc. Fast Play mode is only available in American English. If you feel you are not ready to play with real opponents, you can train on your own in Solo Play mode.
The advantages of this word game app are (1) that it is colorful and nice to look at and (2) that it is engaging and quite interactive (there are goals to achieve).
There is one very unpleasant disadvantage through – the ads that pop up after every move and last for at least 5 seconds, which is a little bit annoying, especially when you inadvertently tap on them. To sum up, the game is dope, the ads suck. Try it now, maybe you’ll be luckier with your experience. Have fun!
