Zynga's "Words" And "Hanging" Have A New Friend In "Scramble"
January 6, 2012
When Zynga's Word Scramble Challenge Edition recently went missing on the App Store, nobody knew exactly what happened, and the developers weren't telling. A few weeks and fruitless Google searches later, we now know why: The app's been redesigned and aligned with the "With Friends" series.
As the third social word game in Zynga's growing iOS library, Scramble With Friends is another surefire success, presenting users with the franchise's familiar, inviting layout and language-based interaction. Following in the heavily-influenced footsteps of its forbears, the app is a blatant "homage" to the Parker Brothers classic, Boggle.
Scramble With Friends is a two-player affair, and you compete with your opponent over three two-minute rounds. Presented with a four-by-four grid of letter tiles, the goal is to construct as many words as possible before time runs out. As usual, you'll have the typical array of power-ups and tokens to help amplify your offensive attack; and, when the match finally ends, whoever has more points wins.
Scramble With Friends is available now on the App Store for a worthwhile $2.99, but an ad-supported free version will let you try before you buy. For now, both are iPhone only, but those HD releases can't be too far off.
