This space-age take on the classic Scrabble game provides a daunting challenge to even the biggest verbal whizzes. CrossCraze's gameboard is very similar to that of Scrabble, with the usual assortment of double-letter and triple-word scores. The game takes place over an outer-space background and has robotic, computerized sound effects to match this theme. You can choose to play against up to three humans, or you can take on a computer opponent of varying skill. In our tests, we were never able to succefully vanquish even the easiest AI opponent, meaning most folks won't get bored during the rather stingy one-hour trial. The demo version also disables many of the customization options, but you can still make a few basic tweaks to the board's appearance and the game rules. CrossCraze also lets you participate in online matches, though when we tested this option, we didn't find any available games. All told, fans of word games will definitely find this program tests their mettle.

Well made but not very clever AI
crosscrazeMay 13, 2016
Pros
Clean layout without ads and strange permissions. Some nice options even in free version.
Cons
AI is not very clever nor strategic. Doesn't know how to score with 'blancs' and won't count a bingo that finishes the game - at least in free version.
Summary
Not very challenging
Best of its type

I tried a lot of the alternatives, including the official Scrabble releases, and this one is streets ahead. Lots of nice options and no annoying ads. I also play this my Android phone.
Cons
None - it does exactly what its meant to do.

Pros
50 different board layouts to choose from. Different ways of playing the game. Up to four players, including computer opponents. Online game-play to challenge others. Awesome game for Scrabble & UpWords enthusiasts.
Cons
Goes full-screen and I don't see any option to set it for a smaller screen size so you can monitor other things going on or easily switch to another app. A bit resource heavy. If AV scan or something kicks in, you can lose your game in progress.
Summary
Awesome stuff
