Ratings and reviews

It expects the player to move too fast and it clears the screen to another one often. I get a letter hung up on the sides and have to go out of the game to get it cleared. I like the formatting and the faster playing at the end of each play. I'd like the game to not be interrupted with internet options. When I play I like to just play without other things in the way!

The game board is hard to use. Normally you can spread two fingers to be able to see the numbers on the tiles, but this game is not very responsive. You also cannot drag just one tile back to the board, you have to recall all of them and then replace them all except the one you were wanting to remove. These changes would be beneficial!

For fans of the board game this software has significant differences. The scoring system is very different, which, OK, I can accept as just a variation of the rules that doesn't really affect game play. The serious flaw, however, is its dictionary, which allows far too many words not to be found in a standard dictionary. A solid vocabulary can be of little use against random plays that are accepted as valid. The result is that the continuous frustration has ruined this game for me.
