I’m a little late to the whole Words with Friends phenomenon. The mobile word game, which is basically the same as but not associated with Scrabble, was released in 2009 and rose to immense popularity in 2010 and 2011. But it turns out that when you’re a woman, even something as seemingly innocuous as playing a word game is a different experience. Now I only play women. We have to confront a sexist double standard in Words with Friends ― that seemingly genderless and strife-free time-killing app ― of all places?
