The iPhone Mom

I think I’ve been living under a rock and not just since the birth of my baby. I think I’ve been under this rock for awhile now. I had never heard of the Facebook game Lexulous before. I’m on Facebook but I’ve never really tried any of the games even though they pop up on my wall all the time. So I was surprised when I opened this app and saw that Lexulous was a Facebook game. Then I went to Facebook and wouldn’t you know Lexulous has 410,348 monthly users. Under a rock, indeed.

So what’s the deal with this app? It connects you to Facebook so you can play Lexulous from your iPhone. You can choose to play against your Facebook friends or other folks from around the world. The app also gives you the ability to chat with the other players, through the app. How do you play Lexulous? It’s a crossword game that’s a bit like Scrabble. You use tiles to build words upon a board and score points as you go. The app is clean looking and works smoothly. You can zoom in on the game board, shuffle and recall letters. Through the app you can view your Lexulous statistics and keep track of how well you’re doing. It does a great job transferring the Facebook game experience to your iPhone.

I guess I’m going to have to crawl out from under my rock now because with that many monthly users there’s obviously something to this game and I think the Lexulous app highlights that well.
