Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This virtual version of Scrabble will challenge both newbies and verbal whizzes. The rules of Scrabble follow those of the classic board game, but if you've never played before, the game will explain things. You can practice your skills alone, or you can compete with human or computerized opponents. If you opt for the latter, you can choose the skill of your opponent from one of eight difficulty levels. In our tests, even the easiest AI player was very tough to beat, so less-experienced players may want to turn on the hints. Other features include the ability to play in windowed mode and adjust the volume of the music and sound effects. The game's graphics are surprisingly polished given its nature, though a longer trial period would be nice. Seasoned Scrabble fans are sure to find this program worth the download, though anyone looking for a mental test may find it engrossing.Publisher's description
From GameHouse :In this classic word game, you can play against one of eight challenging computer opponents or take on your friends and family in four different game modes. Play the way you remember in Classic mode, race against the clock in Blitz, climb to the top in a Tournament, or set up a Custom Tournament and play SCRABBLE your way! Innovative and helpful features like Best Play, Hints, and The Official SCRABBLE Players Dictionary allow SCRABBLE fans of all skill levels to join in the fun.

Version: Scrabble
Pros: Great AI
Cons: The dictionary this game uses is the 3rd edition and it will not accept words from the 4th edition. Really annoying that this information is not included in the description.

Version: Scrabble
Pros: It has the Scrabble name - if that matters to you.
Cons: The graphics are dull, the interface is clumsy and the computer tends to play a very boring, closed game. Because it is an official license of Scrabble, it sticks pedantically to the standard rules and offers none of the fun extra modes of play offered by rivals. There are much, much better Scrabble-type games around than this. Just download a copy of CrossCraze if want an example.
