this is a good way to play scrabble and the program is simple to use. To my surprise, I’m content to wile away an hour or more at a time playing this game. Speaking as someone who never plays board games if I can avoid them, for the simple reason that I’m absolute rubbish at them and my weak and feeble ego can’t stand the constant failure to win, I have to say it doesn’t hurt quite so much to lose against the computer (which doesn’t dance and gloat as a human adversary is inclined to do). This suits me. Perhaps it won’t suit people who are good at scrabble because I don’t suppose the computer will display feelings of defeat and dejection in the satisfying way a proper human opponent will do, either. On the other hand it will undoubtedly provide very good practice to help you crush and humiliate your next human victim more mercilessly than ever. In any case, I’m hoping that the next time one of those scrabble sharks corners me into a game, they won’t thrash me quite so comprehensively, because I’ll also have had a bit of practice.
I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys scrabble, but most especially to people like me, who are not very good at it (yet).
