Words with Friends has a bot that tries to play against you, but today I opened the app to see FFOSecondBot on the screen. Does that have any particular meaning?

Looks like a camelCase variable to me so its likely just a temporary word they replace with the actual bot name but something went wrong and it didn't replace it properly leading to the temporary text showing instead

There could be some other reasons but the actual cause cant really be determined without looking at the source code

And the ffo leading seems to be Hungarian notation such as strFirstName for a string for a first name or intAge for an integer for somebody’s Age
