WWF Good (Compared to WF)
- Ability to play against iOS and Android friends
- Ability to play against iOS and Android friends (I listed this twice because it holds the most weight for now...)
- Beautiful Bright Interface
- Nice Sound Effects (if you are into that sort of thing, but for me I'm using playing it places I shouldn't be playing games and I prefer silence
- Tells you if a word is not a word a lot quicker than WF
WWF Downfalls (Compared to WF)
- Can't save opponents to a friends list so to have easy access to play them again later.
- Crashes, Force Closes, and Corrupts Games on Android OS. They have come out with several updates since the original launch so I'm sure at some point they will get this right. The quick fix is to uninstall and reinstall the game, which forces you to log back in with your username so that it can redownload your game information (or for the geeks go to Application Settings and clear cache and content).
- The button to Resign the game is on the main screen, so it can accidentally be hit
- Its cool that if you shake the phone it Shuffles your letters, but can I just get a button? I don't want to shake my phone a bunch of times while I'm attempting to figure out what words I can make from my letters.
- The Ads pop up after every word you play and the load a lot slower. So it seems to take longer to exit out of them
- Its too easy to make super ridiculous point words because the Special Blocks are closer together so like a 4 letter word can get Triple Letter and Triple word, opposed to you needing make a 5 letter word in WF
- Lack of options (Maybe that’s the former Blackberry User in me, but I like having options)
- Only 1 board. WF has a standard and random boards to play when you get tired of the same special tile placement
- The Chat function is a bit slower. But honestly the Chat function in WF is the best in the world, hit me on Twitter or GChat if u want to talk trash for real...lol
- I feel like there are a few other things that I didn't like about WWF compared to WF but I can't think about them right now. But if anyone else has any complaints leave it in the comments section. LOL
The WordFeud developers site posted this about a month ago, which pretty much means the slight upper hand that WWF had over WF will be taken away from them.

I agree with all of ur points. I would also add that WWF has lost my interest due to their false or lack of notifications. It makes the game that much longer when you dont even realize its your turn.
ReplyDeleteI think Wordfeud is better as well. I agree with your comparison. But my interest with word games has increased since I'm learning new words on Anagrammer's site http://www.anagrammer.com/wordfeud-cheat/.
