Now thankfully I work for myself so I am able to have the ability to check my WWF status many times throughout the day otherwise I think I would have a valuable reason to take stress related sick leave.  I have even dropped my phone into a pan of risotto whilst trying to play and cook at the same time.  The risotto lost.  I have even forced real life friends to upload the application on a night out so we can play together!  I recently dropped my phone in water and feared for my life as it stopped ringing and functioning in a normal way and I spent the entire day nursing it back to health so my game would still work.  I stay up until late at night with the charger plugged into the phone as it’s running out of juice super fast.  Since the charger is not very long I have to lie at a most peculiar angle to reach my phone and play. I seriously think I have invented a new yoga position.  My beauty sleep is shot, my eyes are super tired, yet still, should I awake in the middle of the night guess what is the first thing I reach for?  Now were this a class A drug you would have me bundled off to some rehab centre for weeks, no doubt about it and when I read this back I can see why I am being called a word addict. Im sure there are people out there shouting “Get a life” But let me tell you I have an enviable life, truly I do. But hold ye hard!  Lets take a look at the positive side to this game:

• Good for the grey matter.  I will not get dementia or amnesia (even my lovely friends whom I never see – I’ll always remember you fondly xx)
• Excellent for improving vocabulary
• Great for keeping our fantastic language alive in this ‘abbreviated’ society
• Encourages competition and strategic thinking
• Inspired conversations with people all over the world whilst you play
