Players can submit a word for possible inclusion in the game&#8217;s official dictionary and entrants may be selected to appear as playable in\u2011game characters. The promotion runs through August 1 and is available inside the app.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The developer paired the contest with in\u2011game celebration features. Logged\u2011in users can claim daily rewards during the event, and a community challenge tracks collective activity toward shared goals. The announcement describes the event as focused on participation rather than competitive tournament play.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The submission process centers on community involvement. Organizers did not publish detailed public guidance on eligibility criteria in the initial announcement. Observers suggested playful example entries such as \u201ccromulent\u201d and \u201cembiggen,\u201d indicating the contest allows for whimsical or informal word proposals, subject to the developer&#8217;s approval.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Words With Friends first launched 17 years ago and remains a long\u2011running mobile word\u2011puzzle title. The anniversary promotion coincides with common mobile engagement mechanics such as daily rewards and social challenges, which are included in this limited\u2011time event.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Become a Solo Star lets players submit a word for the in\u2011game dictionary and win a playable character; entries are open through August 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest"],"newsroom_tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Words With Friends 17th Anniversary: Submit a Player Word<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Submit a word in Words With Friends&#039; 17th anniversary contest for a shot at dictionary inclusion and becoming a playable character.
