Pros: Smooth game play; fantastic graphics and sound
Cons: None

I love Scrabble. I'm a long-time addict of this ancient and venerable crossword game, which was first released to the American public by Selchow and Righter in the late 1940's. I remember regularly beating my mother, siblings, and grandparents ...

Pros: Options, options, options, and fast games (no more waiting for Aunt Bea)
Cons: None, really

Think of it this way: A popular board game, on your computer, with opponents waiting at all times for you to choose to play them at your whim, and they don't take 10 years to put down a word only to get 6 points for the word "case". That is what you get ...

Pros: fun, fun, fun
Cons: none

Let me start off by saying that I was addicted to this game not long ago, before I discovered Epinions. My husband and I spent endless hours playing this game.

~~~OBJECT~~~

The object of the game is to be the first player with the...

Pros: Very helpful tutorials
Cons: Very boring. Could use some spicing up.

In the past few days I have realized that maybe I spend a little too much time here at Epinions. I think I am borderline obsessive. Anyhow, I decided I needed a little change of pace so I blew the dust off my Scrabble CD-ROM and popped that bad...

Pros: MAVEN, MAVEN, MAVEN
Cons: None to speak of

Recently, I was playing against MAVEN, the computerized opponent for Hasbro's CD-Rom version of Scrabble, maintaining a 123-point lead with only a few scrabble pieces remaining on the virtual board. That's it, I thought. Piece of cake. I...

Pros: fun, easy to play, great graphics and sound
Cons: can't rearrange letters on tile holder, print hard to see on playing board

Just so you know, Maven is the computer opponent for Hasbro's Scrabble computer game. After looking at, and considering buying the computerized version of Scrabble, I finally did it! It happened to come packaged with some other games in ...

Pros: Fun, easy, great time-killer
Cons: Gets boring after a bit!

This game is intended to be played with two players, like the board game, or you can play it against the computer, who is aptly named, Maven! Let me tell you something about Maven..... she cheats!

I had an unfortunate experience with...

Pros: Incredible vocabulary, improves personal skill, different levels to choose from, quick
Cons: Dictionary is not the official competitive scrabble dictionary

I was pretty curious about this game-- I wondered if the computer would be challenging, or if it would have enough of a vocabulary to allow me to play normally.

It absolutely is and does.

At first it is a little aggravating to play...

Pros: FUN
Cons: I can't stop playing once I start!

I was a bit skeptical about Scrabble on the computer. I love the board game and was sure the software version would be disappointing. When I found a promotional coupon for it on the box of my favorite cereal(Cheerios), I thought, "what the...

Pros: Easy To Use, Just Like the Board Game
Cons: Can't Shuffle the Letters Around Yourself

The CD-ROM version of Scrabble pretty much plays like the standard board game version. You form words crossword style using letter "tiles". Different letters have different point values assigned to them. Generally, the letters that are...

Pros: Builds word skills, addictive fun
Cons: ADDICTIVE

I am a Scrabble lover from way back. Our family was so serious about our Scrabble playing that we bought the Super Deluxe version when I was around 10 years old. It featured a turntable base and had a raised plastic grid that kept the letters from...

Pros: Easy to set up and play.
Cons: none

I was lucky enough to purchase this game at a school bookfair. I loved the board game and only hoped it would be that good. It was Buy one get one free so I only paid $7.50 for this game. What an absolute bargain!

Setting up the game is a...

Pros: Fun, Dictionary, Hint Guide
Cons: Music is annoying, Game runs slow occasionally

I've always loved playing the board game Scrabble, so much in fact, that I received a game as a wedding shower gift. When I found the computer version, I purchased it immediately.

The game can be played with as little as one human player and...

Pros: Nice graphics, music, and built in dictionary
Cons: Playing against a computer not quite the real thing

My mother is a Scrabble nut. There is no denying that she is addicted to those cute little square tiles. Unfortunately, no one in our family enjoys playing the word-based board game quite as much as she does. She became so desperate to play that she...

Pros: Online gaming free
Cons: none

I've delayed purchasing this game for at least a year. I always seem to forget when I'm in the computer store, because I get distracted by so much other stuff. It has been about ten years since I last played Scrabble, and my recollections were that it...
