6 Annoying Facebook Games We Wish Would Disappear

6. Words with Friends

This is a game that went viral from its development as a smart phone app and then took over the social media scene, clogging up Facebook notifications with friends requesting another person to make look like an English fool. The game itself is a mix of Scrabble and UpWords. As much as I love word games, however, Zynga has tainted this genre with its overly-addictive app. It's slightly disturbing how much this game has gained popularity, even now after the death of the smart phone app usage. Words with Friends is overhyped and over-promoted. I have no problem if people want to play it, but for the love of all things bright and beautiful, please remove this from the Facebook games. The notifications drive everyone crazy and somehow leak through the app-request filter. I wish Facebook would get rid of this game.
