The computer edition of Scrabble

The Computer Edition of Scrabble takes the familiar word game and gives it the one opponent who never gets tired, never needs a coffee break, and never claims that a questionable dictionary word is definitely real: the computer. The basic rules remain recognizable, with players building words on a board while trying to maximize their score through letter values and bonus squares. The computer opponents provide different levels of challenge, making the game suitable for both casual players and people who enjoy treating every seven-letter rack like a military operation. The graphics are simple, but that is hardly a problem for a game whose main visual attraction is a collection of letters. Its real strength is convenience: no missing tiles, no arguments about the rules, and no need to find someone willing to play. For word-game fans, it is a straightforward and satisfying adaptation.
