Very addictive!
KIKI556May 12, 2011
Pros
I love this game and have had to delete it a few times because it was becoming an addiction!
Cons
It does work with windows 7, but there are a few issues. When picking up tiles the cursor disappears, but you get used to it.
Summary
It is exactly the same as the game we all want but it's for free (you know what it is!) Some of the words that the computer comes up with are ridiculous and obscure, but I love it!
Bad, definitely isn't worth 27 bucks

Pros
You can still play scrabble
Cons
The tiles and the field look ugly, the background colors are all bad. The interface is clumsy. I have seen better scrabble game for free.
Summary
Good enough

Pros
Its a decent scrabble-clone game. Very smart AI.
Cons
Crashes, and sometimes has slow response times. Uses difficult, rare words even when you set it down to just 'good'. Doesn't follow its own rules, i.e. it sometimes submits right next to other words, forming new words that aren't in the dictionary but doesn't allow player to do so.

Summary
What kind of words are PIKI or PIZE? I'm not a native English, so I looked up a dictionary and found no entry to these things. These are only two examples, but I'm sure, there are lots of other, similarly meaningless "words" in the built-in dictionary. Of course, you can learn those stupid words and play by them... But I think this game is about something else. It is a good thing though, that you can replace the built-in dictionary with your own, but I'm too lazy to create one.
Great game but hard!

Great clone. Even with the settings on beginner it can be quite challenging. A must for all board game and word game fans!
