Wordsmith, a word game for Android, is free today. Its the middle of April and your bored at work. Nothing going on in the world of Facebook and not a soul wants to talk to you at the water cooler. You could blame this on the economy and our "jobless America" or you could go to the Amazon Appstore and download Wordsmith for free.
Join the thousands of people who are anonymously playing each other in up to 4-player online Scrabble-like games. This app couldn't have come to a better person than myself. My wife and I play these word games on our Android everyday. I myself play a move on average about once a day, whereas my wife plays her turns about 2-3 times per day. Wordsmith lets you play someone you know online or someone random. This is also the only word game that lets you play 1v1 on the same device. Every other feature can be found in the other options out there.
My experiences with Wordsmith aren't the greatest. Over 3G turns take a long time to post to the server. Push notification doesn't always work and the visuals are not as appealing as Wordfeud or Words With Friends. Now about those other games, which is better?
Wordfeud is the hands down winner. And wouldn't ya know, the dev just added the ad-free version of the game to the Amazon Appstore for purchase. And much cheaper than on the Android Market at $2.90.
Words With Friends is only available on the Android Market as of this writing. It has been updated about 20 times since it was sloppily released a couple months ago. The only reason this thing is even still installed on my phone is for the fact that it allows cross platform gameplay between Android and iPhone users. The game is littered with slow responsiveness, long loads and game hindering bugs. None of which seem to get fixed for people even after so many updates. The last update wiped all the letters off my racks in a couple games before force closing.
If you'd like to form your own opinion as to which is best, hit the link to nab a free copy of the full version of Wordsmith. Even if you don't like it, is free and will remain in your download list on the Amazon Appstore for Android.
