Q: I love playing Words with Friends and have been doing so for several years now. I play with old friends as well as strangers, sometimes becoming friends with the strangers. But in the past week I think one of my 'friends' is cheating — she's using words I've never seen her use before and all her scores are suddenly much higher. Do I accuse her of cheating? Or just stop playing with her? Should I warn others?

A: I've always tried to live by the aphorism, 'Cheaters only cheat themselves,' but sometimes it's not so easy — even for me — to be quite so philosophical. I've played my share of Words With Friends, too, and like Scrabble I love the competition and the challenge. Sure, I prefer to win — but it's really about playing the game, right?
I did a little digging in response to your question and, frankly, was surprised to see how many apps exist to help Words With Friends players cheat (123 came back on a quick iPhone search). Among them: Word Cheats ('#1 cheap app of all time!'), Auto Words with Friends Cheat ('Impress all your friends with the great words you can come up with!'), and Words with Friends Cheat ('The quickest Words with Friends cheat on the net!'). Unfortunately, I could go on. Survey programs for hp 50g calculator. And on.
Even worse, some apps help cheaters cover up their ill-gained scores. For instance, BlogMyBrain.com allows you to choose your level, from junior high on up to world champion, so the tool serves up words your competition won't suspect were fed to you. I couldn't get away with choosing 'World Champion,' since no one would believe I'd come up with those words. But my very honest friend Amy could (not that she'd need to). She also told me: 'It's so dumb to cheat on a game like this. What's the fun in that? My friends and I applaud one another's great moves. That's motivating. Cheating is the antithesis of that.'
What to do? If you're playing with a stranger, I'd suggest finishing off the game and refusing any offers for a rematch. If your competitor is someone known to you, don't rush to judgment — but definitely keep in mind this paraphrasing of Gertrude Stein: 'A cheater is a cheater is a cheater.' In other words, beg off in the future.
As for a direct, 'J'accuse,' that's hard to do without actual proof, which you probably don't have. If enough people stop playing with your friend, either she'll get the message or she'll think she's bested all of you and won. To that I say, a big fat 'whatever.'
Perhaps some young geek will take my friend Amy's advice: Invent an app that could detect a cheating app. I'd offer a reward for that.
