HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif (July 13, 2011) - Given that the App Store is filled with everything you can think of and many things you never would care to, the lack of free Words With Friends™/Scrabble™ style single player games is especially irritating to word game addicts. One such addict, independent developer Arlo Randall, took his irritation to the extreme and developed a new app, Greedy Words, to fill the void. Greedy Words is a recently released single player word game app for the iPhone (iPad compatible) that offers players addicted to games like Words With Friends and Scrabble a new way to satisfy their appetites for word games when their friends don't meet the demand.
The developers of Words With Friends made the conscious decision not to include a single player mode in either the free or pay version as it would go against their core concept of a social game and it is difficult to argue with the decision considering their success; however, the most addicted players want a single player alternative while waiting for their friends to play. The free version of Scrabble has no single player mode, but it is one of the additional features in the pay ($2.99) version. There are other similar style pay apps that offer single player modes, but Greedy Words is the first free app in the category.
