Years ago, I had downloaded a version from Yahoo Games for $20.00. Could not transfer it to my new laptop so .... eBay to the rescue!!! Got this game for less than $10.00, brand new. It is more versatile as it offers 4 different(Scrabble)game modes to play, each at several levels. Can be as easy or as hard as you chose AND downloaded on other pc's. Did not give a 5 stars rating because the graphics do not feel like the traditional Scabble but it is still good and challenging. Also features hints and dictionary. In other words, there is nothing wrong with it, really
I love my old computer Scrabble but wanted an update as the dictionary was way out of date so went for the latest version. Instead of improving, there are several things I really don't like. The board is smaller then the old one and not as user friendly. There is no way to get rid of all the excess useless stuff and just have the board to see and work with. The dictionary is updated, but lacks the ability to see definitions of words used by the computer so it makes it much more difficult to use words again you have never heard of before. It lacks a few of the other niceties like suggestions. I really wish they had done more beta testing before taking away useful functions and adding other unnecessary versions of the game which don't make it any more interesting. I have gone back to my old copy and now enter words into a special dictionary that I know are usable. All in all I am disappointed with this version.Read full review
This game would not play on my Acer Netbook but played on a bigger laptop. The board is rather annoying in that the colors are different from the original Scrabble board and are distracting. Haven't played that much so I don't know what the dictionary is like but I do know that I much prefer the original Scrabble. I have not tried the other few games that are included on this CD as I bought it for Scrabble. The board is small on the screen and it's going to take a little getting used to. It is about a quarter of the screen with too much of nothing around it. I'm not one for computer games but I do enjoy Scrabble. Not really that enthralled with this particular version.
I played this all the time on my old pc and lost the cd. Glad I could find it again at a reasonable price.
