Zynga Launches Word Pop, a Voice Game
Based on Words With Friends, Exclusively for Amazon Alexa (Graphic:
Business Wire).
Word Pop is an entirely new take on classic Words With Friends
style play. In the game, Alexa challenges players to create as many
words as possible from a six-letter bank, through a series of
one-minute sessions. Players must say or spell as many words as
they can during each session, earning points for both the number
and length of words found. To access the game, players simply say,
“Alexa, open Word Pop” on any Alexa device to enable the skill and
begin solving word puzzles.
“I’m thrilled that by adding Word Pop to the Words With Friends
family, players will be able to test and improve their word skills,
making them even better Words With Friends players,” said Bernard
Kim, President of Publishing at Zynga. “The beauty of Words With
Friends is that even after ten years, we’re still discovering new
ways for the franchise to bring joy to players around the world.
We’re dedicated to experimenting with services such as Alexa and
game modes like Word Pop, which gives players a familiar, yet novel
experience.”
“We’re very excited to have a global leader in mobile games like
Zynga create a new voice-based game based on such an entertaining
franchise like Words With Friends,” said Steve Bernstein, director,
Alexa. “Customers love playing games on Alexa and we’re excited to
bring this new experience to them, testing their word knowledge in
a fun and challenging way.”
Word Pop is accessible now on any Alexa device such as the
Amazon Echo, Echo Show or Echo Dot.
