Despite the controversy over Scrabble Trickster across the word world, Mattel's modern take on the classic crossword board game is out in stores— but not in the United States. It's only available in and around the UK, but you can snag your copy just in time for Christmas from Amazon UK. You can also visit the official Scrabble Trickster website. I imagine this is going to be a hot item in the United Kingdom this holiday season, but as for me— it's the one Scrabble game I refuse to add to my...
SCRABBLE. To some it's just a game, but to me it's life or death. Well, not really, but it feels that way anyway. On a normal weekend, a game becomes much like Jon Thomas' "friendly game of death Scrabble."
Moldicide is a word scramble (anagram) game with a colourful indie art style. It rewards vocabulary and speed, as every word made helps to keep back the approaching horde of moldies (cartoon zombies controlled by mold).

Wordsnap is an addictive word game where you play online against your friends and other random players.

SquareWords is perhaps the only game that can be played with nothing more than a pencil and a piece of paper – and still be genuinely absorbing. Watch this video and learn how to play SquareWords anywhere with anyone.
You like Scrabble, can't get enough of Words with Friends, but you are tired of losing (or winning!) games because luck? Wish everyone could play with the same letters, so you can finally prove you are the best?
I am one of the developers behind Wordout, a new type of word game for iOS! It is free, and allows you to play vs up to three friends in the same game! I would love some feedback on Wordout.
WordnRoll wants players to get super fast in composing words by juggling with letters. It is a combination of famous games. Letters fall down and words can be formed by scrolling rows of letters left or right and dropping single letters.
In a previous post, I wrote about how controversy changed SCRABBLE, about how the SCRABBLE Dictionary evolved thanks to Judith Grad and her crusade to rid the world of derogatory and racist words. She won, at least in some manner, but the fact still remains, racist or not—words are words, and they're here to stay.
Two-letter words are one of the most important parts of playing Scrabble. If you don't know all of the small ones, then you're missing out on one of the easiest ways to score big. Check out How to Score Big with 2-Letter Words in Scrabble and memorize all that you can. Definitions are optional, but you won't need them for this challenge.
I Am Trying to Find Out Why Some of the Opponents Word Scores Are So Outragingly High. Doesn't happen with previous players only with ones added recently.
Hi all word game fanatics! I will like to recommend a new word game, Tribulations, on the apps market :) It features adventure and strategic game play elements too!
Do you have any idea how many words we haven't been saying since 1972? No, no one does, because some asshole editor went on a crazy deleting spree a couple decades ago while editing the Oxford English Dictionary: the one dictionary from which words are, supposedly, never deleted.
We have launched a new STAR WARS theme Word Puzzler BLITZ game ^^ on Facebook!!I would love to hear any feedbacks/suggestions/questions about our new game.
Hey game lovers. I have recently published my flash word game as a facebook app. This game will challenge your vocabulary, spelling, memory and typing skills. It also uses the scrabble dictionary (more or less) so if you are looking for a fun single-player way to hone up on your scrabble skills check out Word Fighter:
Whoa. Someone just got caught this weekend cheating at the 2012 National Scrabble Championship in Florida. He was holding on to some blank tiles, which dropped on the floor mid-game. How did this kid even think he'd get away with hiding blank tiles? Wouldn't it be a little suspicious once his opponent got a third blank tile from the bag?
Combines Scrabble, Boggle, Bejeweled and Connect Four gameplay. Yes, Connect Four. This app is a word game that utilizes push directions to maneuver tiles.
If you're not into making your own Scrabble coasters out of Scrabble tiles, these are the next best thing (though a little more complicated). And better than having tons of tiles on the same coaster is just being one tile itself, so you can make words out of the coasters!
I don't want to say too much, because it's best to read it first-hand, but it's a very nice story about a deaf woman who had cochlear implants that helped her hear again. Trouble is, a great deal of her vocabulary was lost while she was deaf, but nightly games of Scrabble with her husband quickly got her vocabulary back in shape!
WESPA, the World English-Language Scrabble Players Association, has released its first major overhaul of the ratings system since inception,. Several known issues faced by the old system have been remedied, with the new system available online through Aardvark. The changes make ratings fairer, particularly for new players in the system.
Now here's a challenge for the above-average Scrabble fan - can you create a good poem out of all the tiles, in iambic pentameter? The poem that's created here doesn't make too much sense, but it does sounds really pretty if you read it out loud.
playing scrabble currently with a buddy of mine and we're down to the last. I have six tiles and he has 2 tiles. He has 410 pts and I am on 393 pts. What would be my best play in this situation. I have seen some that give me 23, 26 pts but they are just not enough to offset the amt he will gain from spelling out his hand, and taking pts from my remaining tiles. Let me know when you can guys.
We need 100 signatures on this petition so we can alert Mattel that we want the dictionary updated and timer fixed on Scrabble Worldwide (excluding US and Canada). Please sign it and leave a comment if there is something specific you want improving on this version of Scrabble. Thank you so much for your time. Sue
Anyone know why Merriam-Webster's Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, 4th Edition, does not have the word "dependable". The word also doesn't appear in Hasbro's online scrabble dictionary. It is listed as valid on other non official sites like:
This is art at its finest. Portland sculptor Ron Ulicny created this faucet sculpture that spews out Scrabble tiles. It's simply called "Spew". Genius. It's just one of the many sculptures he's made repurposing ordinary objects and materials into new and unexpected things.
hi, i prefer to delete multiple game requests that are randomly generated while playing someone online (especially if we are playing for the first time); however some people seem to think it's because i am shopping tiles and that is not the case. to eliminate this bias, i've decided to enter an "already playing" comment before deleting the subsequent game. thoughts?
If so, just wanted to let you know about a Scrabble tournament being held on March 24th in Blue Bell, PA! It's to benefit the Literacy Council of Norristown, a nonprofit that helps adults who are learning English as a foreign language or who are native speakers of English but need help improving their basic reading, writing, and math abilities.
Here's the scenario, if someone puts a word thinking and intending it to be a particular meaning, then that word is challenged and it turns out that it is not a real word, but instead is another word (in this case it turns out it was a name of a drug), then should the person still get the points? For example, someone puts 'agria' thinking it means a substrate. It is challenged and it turns out not to mean substrate. But upon further research it is the name of some drug. We're playing that...
Duplicate Scrabble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplicate_Scrabble) is a luck-free version of scrabble that I would like to see on the iPhone. I'm used to Words w/ Friends so it would be best for me if Zynga would offer it....but I'm wondering if anybody anywhere offers it for the iPhone......?
