Now that I've upgraded to a smartphone I can play Words w/ Friends (WWF) again w/ my sister. Added in games w/ one or sometimes two of my nieces. Sister Connie and I decided Brother Brent should join in so Connie sent him all of the info today and we have started playing w/ him also. I hated Scrabble when I was younger but in WWF it doesn't matter that my spelling ability is atrocious. The game won't allow playing misspelled words. I am puzzled though why the Greek mythological character IO and the Egyptian word for a person's soul KA are OK but other mythological names are not. The game allows some words I would never say out loud but won't allow other words that are perfectly valid (just sometimes are used by bullies in a derogatory manner). I can understand why I sometimes only have vowel tiles to work w/ (or only consonants) - that's the luck of the draw. There is one idiosynchrasy of the game that I'm still researching. Why do I get so many 'I's? Multiple games I've had four of them staring back at me only to be dealt even more. (Note: Don't know why I'm complaining. I've used an 'I' in a word over 20 times in just this short blog entry.)
