Words With Friends is expanding. What was once just a popular way to play unofficial multiplayer Scrabble on mobile has now become a larger hub for other daily word games.
Mobile development juggernaut Zynga announced that it’s added four games to the app. Mini Crosswords gives you a new crossword to complete every day and a leaderboard for competing against other players.
Word Wheel is an anagram game where players connect letters in a wheel to form words. Word Search provides a new puzzle theme each day.
Finally, Guess Word is like Wordle, with players having to guess a word in six tries.
