SAN FRANCISCO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Zynga, the world's leading social game developer, today announced that Words With Friends, the mobile word game sensation, is now available on Facebook. Now everyone on Facebook can play their favorite combat crossword game. Additionally, word warriors on Apple iOS and Android devices will be able to port their games between their mobile devices and Facebook. This marks the first time that Zynga has moved a mobile game to Facebook.

Launched in July 2009, Words With Friends combines classic and competitive word building with social gaming and provides fun and (usually) friendly competition. Words With Friends on Facebook opens the game up to even more players and makes the game playable across multiple platforms.

What's New?

Words With Friends on Facebook will have all of the game's current features and functionality, plus additional social features, including:

  • Brag Feeds: Publicly call out friends on their wall after scoring a 97-pointer, getting a triple letter, triple word, or just generally owning them
  • New Notifications: Facebook requests that notify friends when it's their turn
  • Wall-to-Wall Combat: The ability to post new game challenges on your friends' walls

Words With Friends on Facebook is the latest development in the "With Friends" family of games, following the launch of their latest mobile game, Hanging With Friends. Zynga has 12 games available on mobile platforms, including Zynga Poker, CityVille Hometown, FarmVille, Scramble, Drop7, and Chess With Friends.
