Zynga, Inc. has made its popular Words With Friends game available for download for the owners of Windows Phone 8 devices as a native WP8 app, as version 1.1 of the game hit the Windows Phone Store.

The new release brought along a series of fixes as well, for some of the stability issues that users have been experiencing with the game, and also included improved notifications and improved word list.

However, it seems that there still are some issues with the application that need to be addressed, as it still crashes for no apparent reason.

Words With Friends is available for purchase through the official Windows Phone app store at $2.99. The game is listed as available for both Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.5 devices, but WPCentral notes that the new release was meant only for the newer OS flavor.
