Description

The name says it all. This is an extremely competently written version of the popular board-game with the added benefit that everybody can always see the board the right way up. The game has a fairly sizeable dictionary and will play against you in one of four levels. The fourth level should be enough to beat all but the most serious Scrabble hack, and I find level two more about my limit.

Although the dictionary is large, it doesn't have *every* word in the dictionary so be prepared to be challenged on some pretty common words. The dictionary is optimised for playing scrabble, so it contains a lot of small words most of which defy belief. There is also the option of 'watching the computer think' which basically means that you will see various words tried out on the board before the computer finally makes up its mind. Nice touch.

All in all this is one of the best board games conversions I've ever seen and is well worth trying out.
