Among the bells and whistles of the online game Words With Friends is an opportunity to complete against different computer "Word Masters" of various abilities. Beating them earns credits within the game and allows for new status, new levels, new looks for ones game pieces and so on.
Each solo challenger has a different skill level, which I think means that each of them is set to allow its algorithm -- which fully unchained could probably whup your meat-headed behind -- more and more freedom with which to work. The lowest-rated and first encountered is labeled "Very Easy," and the opponents get more and more challenging as you work your way through them. Each week or so a new set of Word Masters, either representing historical figures or fictional characters grouped by theme, are chosen. The current theme as I write this is military leaders from several different countries and periods of history.
The first opponent is King Leonidas I of Sparta, who is labeled "Very Easy" to beat; Xerxes I would probably disagree. Somebody at Zynga needs to take a history class or at least watch 300.
