Memorandum Monday is another one of Sian’s brilliant ideas.
Sian said “I’d love you to tell us something you did over the weekend FOR THE FIRST TIME. Or (though it’s not really an “or”, because you are very welcome to do both) delight us with something you learned and DIDN’T KNOW BEFORE.”
So, over the weekend I learned about, signed up to and am playing ‘Words With Friends’ Actually, words with Friend would be more accurate.
It’s scrabble, I play it on my phone and its free.
I am playing with my friend Marcella who has been playing for nearly three years! This is my first game and I love it, I’m nowhere near as good as Marcella but it doesn’t seem to matter.
You can play as fast or a slow (that’s me) as you like.
Marcella has lots and lots of games going on at the same time. I only have her!
If anyone would like to play with me, sign up and look for me, I am MiriamRogers (what a surprise!) Go on, give it a whirl.
I love words and have always loved scrabble but the thing I like is the fact that we are in contact.
Oh! You can send each other messages too. The last one I sent Marcella was “are you giving me all the rubbish tiles?”
Thank you for a fun new Monday connection Sian, waving on Monday 18th from a very grey rainy world outside my window.
It sounds like fun! And as a sidenote..there aren’t too many Marcellas around, are there? We have one in our family.
Have a good week Miriam
My daughter plays this..U know if I start it will become all-consuming, so am avoiding it for the moment! xx
I have played Words with Friends but unfortunately I didn’t do very well so I gave up!
Good for you trying something new – you will probably surprise yourself at how quickly you will get fast at this. I have several teacher friends that play Words with Friends.
I am a scrabble lover and have played online in the past both with people I don’t know and people I know. I would love to play against you but I too dare not at the moment otherwise I will get nothing done!
It sounds like fun, but I know better than to put any games on my phone – I already have too many other distractions to take me away from getting things done!
My daughter used to play that game with friends from Rochester. I haven’t heard anything about it recently. I’m guessing the full-time job put an end to that.
this game features in the movie Still Alice – if you haven’t watched it I would recommend it. have a great week
I’ve seen that game but never tried it, might have to give it a go as I love word games.
How fun. When I got my new phone, I was addicted to the Scrabble on it too. I think I prefer the board game and the feel and look of the actual tiles though. Either way, it is addictive.
Oh that looks like a lot of fun… I can see it might be a bit addictive
Have a great week.
