I like addicting games on Facebook. How else am I supposed to whitter away my bosses profit margins by waisting time? Most of the games I find on Facebook fail to offer the shear addictiveness of games found on Yahoo, but that changed this afternoon.

It is a cold and windy day here in DC and I was looking for something to do while I ate my 4th Chipotle Burrito of the week. Just then a dashing young man with no name through open my office door and pronounced, “You will play Herd-A-Word (HAW)!” Being a feebler man I agreed.

The man vanished and I was left with rice and steak on my shirt, and one addictive little Facebook application. HAW is an online game that challenges your vocabulary and your nerves, while reinforcing your beliefs that you should read more.

Basically all you have to do is line up orbs with letters to form words. There is a timer that counts down and reminds you why your failed 3rd grade spelling. You can then take your score and send it out to your friends and have them beat it. You can also take your longest word, Chrome for me, and send that out as a challenge to your friends.

HAW is proof that good ideas will bring users. This game is by far one of the most fun I have played in a long time. If you get a long word send it my way and give me a challenge. Chrome, man I am good.
