So Ruzzle is officially something that matters, and, at press time, it was the No. 4 overall free app in America. It was also the No. 1 word game, apparently beating out Words with Friends, Scramble with Friends and Shared Needles with Friends. (One of those games is not real.)

And now I'm included among the millions who play Ruzzle. But probably not for long. I get bored easily, and my interest is already starting to wane.

Plus, I just keep "loosing" to my mom.
