Why it works: Words With Friends is owned by Zynga (ZNGA), and the Words With Friends Facebook application automatically generates a ticket to support. You can see this for yourself by logging into Words with Friends, selecting Support from the menu bar at the top of your page, and on that Status screen there’s an option called Open Ticket under Submit a request. This status message has been very popular in getting Words With Friends accounts back for people who have had theirs stolen or compromised.     Update 3/25/12: My main account was hacked today but I was able to successfully get it back with the information given above.
