When I ordered this Scrabble game to give as a gift, I already owned one. I play on-line with a friend in Canada and some games go on for days because we are both busy people. We absolutely love this game and wish more young people would try it. Much better for your brain than all those violent games that are available.

I love playing Scrabble and bought this game for my Windows XP computer. It worked a few times, but now I have a similar problem as others have mentioned - every time I try to play this, the computer locks up with a blank screen. I can't even reboot, I have to totally shut it off and turn the power back on. I have tried to buy this game twice thinking it was defective, but still doesn't work. We have many games for the kids, and this is the ONLY one I like, and it doesn't work. I hope someone from Atari will find this out and fix the problem.

As a life-long Scrabble enthusiast, I had a hard time breaking away from this game. I loved being challenged by the Expert computer level, of which I beat a few times and was able to beat even higher levels a time or two. I played the online version through GameSpy and that went well though it is occasionally hard to try to get someone to play with.
I recommend this game for anyone that loves Scrabble, especially for people that live alone.

Great Game

Scrabble online is a great upgrade from the original scrabble. I love the play by email part of this game, and playing online is great if there are people there to play with.

Great computer play

It's a lot of fun playing against the computer. I've been able to beat all the levels up to expert. The pro level is where it starts to get really tough for me. I also tried deity level (the highest). That one really whips my butt! Haha. It bingos several times each game and uses a bunch of words I've never seen! The deity level takes something like 10 to 20 seconds for each move and seems to make the absolute best move each time, and it shows! On the other levels I tried, the computer always makes its move instantly, so no waiting there. The graphics look FANTASTIC and the sounds are good too. The only problem with this game is that I can't play online with other people. I see others have had that problem too. Even so I think it's well worth buying. It's great for practicing your scrabble game. You can take all the time you want and there's no humans telling you to hurry up. All in all, this is the best scrabble playing experience I've had against computers or humans. So despite the inability to play online games, I still give it a 5. I love it.

I bought this for my sister as I already had the game, as does another sister(it is a family addiction). She loves it as much as I do. The makers no longer sell this so the Internet is the only place I have found it...and at a great price too. It only took about a week from when I ordered it...got it...and then sent it to her. Thanks for the great service

Good implementation - some whistles broken

I'm generally very impressed with the game. The gameplay is quick, the graphics are well done but not over the top, and enjoyment is high. This is certainly an upgrade from previous versions.

My criticisms:
* Analyze play crashes the game on both my WinXP and my Win98 box. Atari has not posted a patch to fix this as of my writing.
* There are very few folks playing online. I've seen no more than a half-dozen folks at GameSpy playing. This is perhaps an issue with how new the game is, but I was hoping for more.
* After every turn from the computer player, the game stops and says that it's your turn, requiring you to click a dialog box to continue. Very annoying.

Overall it was a good effort, but not as good as it could have been.

Because of my computer's protections, I cannot host a game using GameSpy. I must wait for others to invite me to join their games. Many others using GameSpy to find players seem to have the same complaint. I wish that problem could easily be remedied.

I like playing on-line scrabble with a friend in a city that is 9 hours away (by car) I recommend it for anyone that likes the computer and also likes words games.

Like Funkitron Scrabble

This game was given from Amazon me by one of my nieces, but I already had Funkitron Scrabble.

This version was okay, I do like the email ability but didn't try it, but I think I like the Funkitron one better. It was easier to use, and plus I don't need a cdrom for it.
