I've recently started playing Words with Friends, and I think the name of the game should be changed to Friends with Words. It seems to me that my friends have all the words and I just have 26 letters. I know that Mr Webster might remind me of his book of words, all created from 26 letters, but my brain has not retained all of those words apparently.
I have friends who can use various combinations of two letters, and Words with Friends consider those two letter combinations to be a word. Now really, are those words? I know some two letter combinations that are words. Words like at, it, si, no, on, be, or, etc. I try to branch out and use other combinations, and the Words with Friends police will flash a warning at me. "QR is not a word you idiot." To prove that I'm an idiot, I yell at the computer, "IT IS TOO. MY FRIEND JUST USED IT AND GOT 99 POINTS." INVALID says the computer back at me.
I feel like I'm in kindergarten wanting to be in high school. See Jane run. See Jane say hi to Spot. See Jane be dumb. I want to read the chapter books with all the big words, but I can't get through the big books with little words. While I'm fretting over this, my Friends with Words are making up two letter words and getting points of 28, 50, 999. I can't count that high. I'm still in kindergarten.
One of my Friends with Words told me that I should have used the Z on a DW space. DW? Isn't she a character in one of my children's books I used to read? I didn't like her in those books, and I don't like her in Words with Friends. I want to use the DW and the TW, but how can I when the letters I have to use are UUUZZZJ? I tried combinations of those letters in two's. Words with Friends police said they weren't words. Yelling that they are hasn't helped me one iota. Iota is a word, but will it come to me when I'm playing Words with Friends? NO, it will not.
It's just a game of words. That's what I keep telling myself, but I want to WIN, and I want to be a WINNER, and I want to use the DW and the TW in a section with a DL and a TL, and I want to get more than 2 points per word. I also want the Words with Friends police to STOP giving me those warnings about being INVALID. I'm going to get an inferiority complex.
Is INVALID a word that means it doesn't count, and can't be used, or is it a word that means I'm an INVALID who can't play Words with Friends? UGH! Hey, I wonder how many points I could get for using UGH? Probably 3 points, even though the face value of the letters are more than one point each.
