A few months ago, I wrote -- okay, ranted -- about my decision to quit playing Words With Friends over what I see as its fatal flaw: the way it rewards random guessing over knowledge and skill. My breakup letter touched a nerve, and I heard from lots of other folks who think the insanely popular Zynga game ought to fix this glitch.
Well, sorry, folks. After talking with Paul and David Bettner, the brothers who created Words With Friends, I can regretfully report that there's no relief in sight. They like their game just the way it is.
