Zynga announced the launch of Words With Friends EDU, an educational title based on the gameplay of Words With Friends. The game was designed for children in grades four through eight, and it combines word games with educational features.
In Words With Friends EDU, players have access to new gameplay features, such as Power Words. These “high-value academic words” include those “frequently used in required reading, textbooks and educational assessments.” Users can learn the definitions of Power Words in a customized dictionary. In addition, they may earn bonus points for creating Power Words.
Elsewhere, teachers and parents can track their students’ or children’s gameplay stats in a dashboard.
