I’ve been playing a little bit of Words With Friends lately, and since I don’t have any actual friends I’ve been challenging random opponents. In this particular game MegaPegg freaked out and quit when I played VATFUL.
Is it so hard to believe someone could come up with this six letter word on their own? Especially when there is no penalty for attempting to play an invalid word (the game just lets you know it’s invalid and lets you try another)? My Words With Friends strategy is actually best captured in this Penny Arcade strip.
Sorry MegaPegg, I didn’t realize we weren’t allowed to use words you didn’t know! But I like the fancy accent you added to “douche”!
