#wordswithfriendsday

People have competed with word puzzles and games since the dictionary's inception. The day honors the intellectual spirit and camaraderie that comes with playing word games. Games like Words with Friends introduced us to a whole new level of competition with the advent of the internet. Not only could we connect with friends through the games we played, but we could also push ourselves to new levels of word knowledge with more people than ever before.

July 19th is the day to play whether you want to pass the time or take each challenge to heart.
