Words by Post now allows you to play against iPhone users
One thing there's no shortage of in the Marketplace is Scrabble-type games. Words by Post is one of those and is very similar to Alpha Jax (see AlphaJax vs Spell It!).
The difference though is Words by Post is also on the iPhone and Android and version 2.0 of the game just hit, bringing inter-play between those platforms. Yes, now you can play against your iPhone friends (if you have those) and presumably Android as well, making this one of the first Scrabble games to bring cross platform gaming to our system.
The game comes in two variates: free (ads in game) or paid ($2.99), features rankings, push notifications for turn-taking, shake to reorder tiles, chat, etc., making quite it robust. We like the sound of this and enjoy the game design so far, so it may be worth a spin.
Pick up the paid version here in the Marketplace or try out the free, ad-supported one here.
(Thanks, Ian H., for the tip!)

I've been using WBP since I got my trophy and it was cross platform with android - works really well now and so much fun for cross platform scrabble action. love it

thanks for the heads up, I will give it a go. I don't spend a lot of time in the marketplace and you guys do an awesome job of highlighting new apps I would never know about.

My dad was in town this weekend and showed me this game. We're both WP7 users, and we've been playing each other all week. My sister has an Android phone, so she was able to download it and join in the fun. As much as I wish everyone was a WP7 user, it's nice to have a game that's playable across platforms like this.

Dang. After I just decided to finally just buy AlphaJax to get rid of the ads. I love these kind of games even though I'm not all that great a speller lol
MarcXW says:
Awesome! There are people who have iPhones that I've been waiting to play Scrabble with.

Awesome game! More fun than alphajax and cross platform to boot!

A little rough around the edges, but it gets the job done just fine. Just finished a game against an android friend on my WP7
HD7guy says:
Cool, I might have to give it a try. Both, to play against friends on other platforms, but also to avoid seeing all the s-x-related ads that seem to be a staple on AlphaJax.
