The creative geniuses behind Words With Friends has unleashed the next word game addiction: Hanging With Friends!

Hanging With Friends brings a brand new twist to the classic game of hangman that adds creativity, strategy and fun for all ages. Build mystery words to stump, amuse or impress your friends, but be prepared to flex those brain muscles as you decipher the words they send back to you.

It’s totally addicting and challenging! You can play up to 20 games simultaneously with your friends or find a match with a random opponent. Like Words With Friends, you receive push notifications that tell you when it’s your turn and also chat messaging to stay in touch (or talk trash, hehe!) with your friends. You can look for your friends by username (same as on Words With Friends) or with Facebook Connect.

Available on iPhone and iPod Touch with iOS4 firmware or newer. Hanging With Friends is free to download on the App Store with ads. This game is also available for $1.99 should you prefer the no-ads version.
