This is a total waste of money. Game has defects and will not work well on XP. Empire is no help and their forums are a joke "Help, I have a black screen" "I know of no solution at this time." It is also cd dependant to run, meaning you have to lug a cd around with you if you want to play the game (when it will play). After a day of frustration trying to get this thing to work, the game ended up in the trash. That toss into the trash was the most fun I got out of the game!

I have always been a scrabble fan. This computer game gave me the upper hand in a lot of the "competition" rounds with my mother :). So for Christmas, I got her one too! She's addicted already and it's gonna be a challenge to try to outword her now for sure!

good deal

The Scrabble game from amazon was a great deal. I had originally saved the game from an onsite retailer and spent $20. I lost the file and then didn't have evidence of purchase. The disk from Amazon will keep that from happening in the future!

I love Scrabble; it is my favorite word game. The CD was fine and worked for about a week before my computer locked up. So I uninstalled Scrabble.

I think the problem is with my operating system (Windows XP)and not the game CD. But it just would not work for me.

I love Scrabble

Enjoy this game and the levels are challenging! Helped me get through my husband's brain surgery hospitalization!

It is easy to set up and use, even for a computer caveman as myself! Nice graphics and a two views of the game board is a very nice touch! Great for any word game fans!

Works great, plays great.

I've read many reviews that state this product wouldn't work on their computers. It makes me wonder if they are laptop users...I don't know. I purchased two copies of this game and installed them on my and my wife's desktop pc's (built with Windows XP sp2). We've played numerous local network games against each other and have experienced absolutely no problems. I've played single player vs the computer and a couple of the mini games...also without issue. Challenging play with decent options...this will make us both better Scrabble players. I see two things that could be improved: 1. Be able to play without the cd (I've circumvented this by downloading a "cracked" exe from www.gamecopyworld.com and it works great, I've used that site many times for other games I've purchased) 2. You cannot play in windowed mode, it has to be full screen. But you can simply hit your "windows" key or alt-tab to work with other apps while waiting for your opponent to make their move...;).

I say buy it, but be aware that I have not tried it on a laptop.

Scrabble game is fun, but

This edition of Scrabble is fun, but it is more limited than others I've used. There are contradictions, too. For example, the game recognizes some foreign language terms, but not others. I find its dictionary limited and the words you use to play the game are limited to those in the game's dictionary. It is fun to play and incorporates some animations, which adds to its value.

The Vista User Review, NOT FOR XP

If you are running Windows Vista and you love Scrabble this is a great buy. NOT FOR XP.

The game itself is just PRETTY GOOD.

Notable features:

HINTS: Gives you clues for a good play, every time you press the button until the word and coordinates is given. Feature can be disabled.

Word Suggestions: Shows you the best 10 plays and will play them for you if you click the choice

Dictionary: You can look up words during the game. No need to struggle flipping pages or carry around a heavy book.

Word Lister: List all possible words from you rack or a specified (you can input) anagram, constanant and vowel dump (when you have too many of the same letter or smae type of letter), list of words with "Q without a U"

Rack sort: Alphabetically, Vowels first, Descending or Ascending value, shuffle

Six levels of Difficulty: Novice (very easy) to Champion (Perfect)

Display options: Choose from 11 backgrounds, 3 game boards, a slant or straight board, dark or light tiles

Player Records: keeps player profiles including highest scored game, average score, number of games won and lost, and best play

Mini-games: 11 different single player games with different objectives for developing your scrabble skills

Custom dictionaries: You can create custom dictionaries to add your own words

Pros:
- Very Fast play, no lag
- Automatic scoring
- Automatic challenge and penalty (can be disabled)
- Pick your own tiles or let the computer pick for you
- Can be played online
- Satisfiable Graphics
- Never freezes
- Save up to 10 games
- Tournament mode

Cons:
- Must run full screen to play: You can't play the game and do something else on the PC. You'll have to press the Windows key. There is no minimize button.
- Only one rack can be shown at a time, make game time a little slow when playing with friends

Overall, its a pretty good game. Not only lets you play but teaches you how to improve your playing. I play it everyday.

The best Scrabble game yet!

Excellent.

Only down-side, it runs a little slow unless you have quite a fast computer.
