For lovers of ‘Words with Friends,’ ‘Hanging with Friends’ puts a new twist on hangman. Players invite friends into games where they take turns creating words out of a given pool of letters for their opponent to guess before running out of strikes. Once a player has guessed too many letters without completing the word, a balloon will pop, causing the avatar to fall closer to the pit of lava. ‘Hanging with Friends’ is a free app available for the Android, iPhone, and iPad. It’s an addicting game that along with providing fun, improves vocabulary.
