Ratings and reviews

I've been playing this game for over 10 years because they are one of the only developers that covered Windows Phone (before I was forced I to Android by T-Mobile). It took a minute to realize a double click will zoom the board out (I saw someone complain about that in another review), but it's simple and effective cross platform fun. Fun times to be had 😎

Update 2022: Hate the new look. The electric blue is obnoxious, and there's too much going on on that screen now. A more valuable update would have been to link to an actual Scrabble dictionary. Original review: Lots of fun to play, but its dictionary is missing far too many approved Scrabble words. I've lost many games because a valid word across a triple word tile was labeled "invalid." Also, would appreciate it if the buttons were large enough to press without accidentally activating an ad.

I've been playing this game for years but it's randomly decided to stop giving me notifications that there's been a move from my opponent. The only way I know is to open the app. I've not altered any settings in the game nor on my phone, I've even uninstalled and reinstalled twice. This gets worse! I've deleted my account, uninstalled the app and cleared it from my phone. But unbelievably if I reinstall it's still my account exactly as it was. Given up!!!
