QUOTES:  “I have been playing Words With Friends for nearly a decade, on soundstages, in greenrooms, and on airplanes,” said actor Alec Baldwin.  “It’s great to play a game that engages your intellect and your social side simultaneously—that’s why I spelled ‘Y-E-S’ when Zynga asked me to get involved.”

“Alec Baldwin and Words With Friends are forever linked in popular culture, and his authentic love for the game resonates with the game’s community,” said Bernard Kim, Zynga’s President of Publishing. “Zynga is incredibly honored to be partnering with Alec Baldwin to celebrate the 10-year milestone of our beloved mobile game, Words With Friends.”
