Available for mobile users to download for free through the App Store, Google Play or by logging in via Facebook or email, Slang N’ Friendz introduces players to slang words from all over the world and provides them with up-to-date definitions. Players are instantly connected to a community of users from across the globe and are placed into one-on-one matches.
How Does It Work?
After downloading the free app, players are instantly connected to a community of users across the globe. Players have the choice of playing against a random user, a friend, or even by themselves in one-on-one matches. Players are then given “letter tiles,” which allow players to gain points by playing them vertically or laterally on top of each other to form a word; an in-game coin currency system is available to up level the user experience and strategy, including an option to peek inside the “Tile Pile” to see which letters remain.
