But if they’re now going to accept popular acronyms, then why not include OK and IQ? New Word ImplicationsĪs is always the case with change, some people will be quicker than others to take advantage of those changes. This appears to be some kind of cutesy effort to include slang words that have become common and popular in recent years…especially on social media. Some of which are cheeky acronyms like BFF and TFW. Zynga, on the other hand, appears to have added tens of thousands of new words to its list of playable words. It also makes plenty of sense to add OK and EW. Now, if you ask me, adding 300 new words after 4 years sounds reasonable. It had been 4 years since the last update. Merriam-Webster recently released the 6th edition of the “The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary” which includes long-awaited 2-letter words OK and EW. Speaking of Scrabble…the classic board game also recently added 300 new words. What To Do When Your Words With Friends Opponent is Cheating Scrabble will always be waiting with open arms for the vocabulary purists. All we can do is adapt to the changes, stop playing or play another game. Time will tell if it hurts the popularity of the game. Imagine a chess match where the pawns and rooks of one player get to make all the moves that a queen makes because that player paid $1.99. I’m sure they’re making lots of money as players buy the Power Ups and thereby gain a huge advantage over their opponents who aren’t using them. It Is What It IsĪnyway, Zynga has made it clear they’re going to keep making drastic changes to their game. But now cheating is a feature of the game! I wrote all about it in another post, Swap Tiles in Words With Friends Without Losing Your Turn. And I’m sure there are plenty of players who are still doing that. Before that update, if you wanted to cheat at Words With Friends, you had to leave the app and go to some other app to get an unfair advantage. ![]() In particular, I’m referring to the Power Up features which became a standard part of Words With Friends 2. Other changes, however, appear to have compromised the integrity and fairness of the game. ![]() Playing a game in Classic Mode now seems like a long-term commitment. Sometimes, those changes are good like the free Word Meter and Fast Play mode. Unlike other game developers who only make minor tweaks to their successful games, Zynga has proven their willingness time and again to make drastic changes to Words With Friends, for better or worse. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped a ZA bomb on my opponents with devastating results. Nobody knows or cares what it means, so it won’t be missed.ĭisallowing ZA, on the other hand, is a total game-changer. IB is one of the 14 that were added last year. The only 2-letter words on the list I couldn’t play were ZA and IB. And then I tested the entire list of two-letter words that you see below. I went ahead and updated my WWF 2 app to the latest version (on my Android phone). So in addition to adding 13 new two-letter words in 2019, they have now scratched some long-established two letter words from the playable list. ![]() So here it is the new Words With Friends 2 Letter Words list 2020 *** 5/21/20 WORDS WITH FRIENDS UPDATEĪpparently the overlords at Zynga have once again arbitrarily decided that previously-accepted words will no longer be accepted. So I figured it’s time to post an updated list here on my site. In 2019, Zynga added several new two-letter words to the list of playable words. Not only is it helpful to know which words can be played, but it’s also helpful to know which words cannot be played. You won’t often win your matches in Word With Friends if you don’t know the two-letter words list.
