Ratings and reviews

The game itself is fun, just like the board game. The only problem is when you try to play online against others. It takes a long time to get a match, and when you do it's almost always someone running a scam to try and get your personal info and they will delete the game if you're not responsive. It's best not to engage in chat at all. Also, when you do match with someone (usually takes a long time) they either have no patience or delete the match if you don't play within a minute or 2.

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.

This game is a nice alternative to the standard word puzzle which doesn't allow you to change any letters. This is a nice game in which you an play others online or play solo with the computer. You can alter the color of the game board which I like. You cannot play words from bottom to top or from right to left. They must be played forward like other word games.
