They are not as eccentric as Best in Show competitors, nor as wildly maniacal as sports fans, but there is truly a devotion and near obsession with those who thrive on puzzles.

Words with Friends, an application for the iPhone and more recently the Android, offers gamers an endless, unpredictable, and challenging version of Scrabble that continues to grow in popularity, building on people’s love of word games.
