A while back, Zynga, the creators of Words With Friends, decided to tackle the game Hangman and released Hanging With Friends for iOS. Even more recently they ported the game from iOS to Android.
The basics of the game are that you're pitted against a friend (or enemy as the case may be). Each of you is given 12 letters to make a four- to eight-letter word for the other to guess. On each turn, you're given the option of watching or skipping a replay of the opponent's turn to see how they guessed/failed/won. After that you attempt to guess whatever word they cobbled together, then you make up a new word to throw at them.
You fail at guessing a word, you lose a balloon. After all your buoyancy is gone, you're taking a lava bath and they're flying high and snickering and the game is over.
There's some options for lifelines that I've personally found to be completely useless to any game I've played, but your mileage may vary.
Hanging With Friends can scour your Facebook for opponents you might want to play, and can advertise that you want an opponent via Twitter.
In the end, it's a gussied up version of Hangman with a few extra options thrown in, but it's free and fun and worth a look.
