Although I have studied statistics and informatics, I have always liked languages and playing language-based games. It is impressive how many interesting things about one language you can learn by playing these games. IMHO even more important effect of these games is that you develop a feel for the language and its constructs, which you simply can not get by the formal language education.
After an introduction to the word-grabber community I started to write articles about one of the most popular scrabble clones available on-line: Words with Friends. While doing a research needed for the articles and playing the game I became a real Words with Friends aficionado. Although I tried many others with similar theme this game has just the right balance of educational and entertainment content for me. The community built around it is also really huge and diverse, so you can always meet new and interesting people while playing with them.
Here you can find all the articles I wrote until now. Have fun!
