Idiot Old Lady Question

I want to play Words With Friends 2 on my PC. Every path I follow wants to download it as an app to my phone. I just don't want that. Is there any way? I'm tired of looking and frustrated and missing my old buddy who used to do this kind of shit for me because I didn't want to. I know I'm being stupid but I just don't ...whatever. Can anyone help without judging and being snarky please, I'm already down enough. I'm sure there used to be a way I could use these apps on my computer, but I can't find it. I know they're free because they want access to the info on my phone, but....?

thanks :(

Looks like Words With Friends 1 has a PC version, but I didn't see one for 2. Maybe an android emulator, but I've never set one of those up.

I think that's what I used to use for such things, but I couldn't find it on here. Thanks, that was the conclusion I'd drawn, but apparently I've lost all confidence in myself. I really appreciate your input :) Now I need to stop crying about stupid things and get my act together.

Well that sucks, is there an android simulator for a windows PC?

Oh, they're called emulators not simulators. Here's 9 of them.

One is Blue Stacks.
BlueStacks is probably the most known Android emulator among Android users. The emulator is preferred for gaming and is ridiculously easy to set up. Other than Play Store, you have the option of downloading BlueStacks optimized apps from its own app store. Although, BlueStacks supports keyboard mapping but does not go well with gestures.

A major drawback of BlueStacks emulator is that it gets sluggish in productivity apps. Other than that, the sponsored ads make the emulator lose behind other best free Android emulators for Windows.

Late last year Microsoft released an app (called Your Phone) that does what they call "mirroring," rather than emulating, Android. It's eventually supposed to work across a variety of Android apps; however, for now it only allows images and text messages to be Wi-Fi shared between phone and PC. I have it, it works; but, who knows when it will be further developed so WIN10 users won't have to install an aftermarket emulator for gaming.
