Totally agree with every good review -real nice game and fun to play.
HOWEVER -whats with the dodgy words it comes up with -dictionary definition for the main word but subtly ignores the stange combination word it makes. It put an S on NEXT the other day??
apart from that, which can be frustrating it is good fun.

Love it,but anyone else hate the way the screen suddenly enlarges one section of the board occasionally,for no apparent reason? Am I missing something?

I ordered a Nintendo DS game, while it said that they were in stock and available - I even paid additional postage to receive in time for Xmas as recommended on the site. Sods law the item did not arrive when they said it would - in fact I am advised that it will not arrive until the week of the 22/01/09!!!!
Will I trust the internet to buy Xmas presents in future - NO!!!!

This is the best game that I have bought so far for the DS, it kept me going during a nine hour flight to America. It is challenging as you play a different level of player as you improve which makes you work harder. There is also an anagram game and a game where letters escalade into making words. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the conventional game of Scrabble.

I was really enjoying playing this game and looking forward to getting past the many weak computer opponents to get to take on the 'big boys' at world championship level. However, when I got there (losing only two games to one opponent on the way) I found that all of the games at world championship level are timed. This would not be such a bad idea for a different challenge if the clock was set at a reasonable amount of time. However against the WEAKEST opponent at world championship level you have only 5 minutes on the clock to get through an entire game! The computer opponent usually moves almost straight away and can lay all its tiles on the board in one go. You on the other hand have no time at all to work on your letters and lose every time because you ultimately run out of time trying to get your tiles one-by- one onto the board. Not only isn't this any fun, it's not a genuine test of your Scrabbling abilities because you might have great letters but you have no time at all to think! I beat all of the previous opponents first game with the exception of one that took me three games to beat. Now I am stuck with playing against opponents that I will beat 9/10 times or not playing at all. Yes, there are other games and the graphics are good etc but I wanted to be able to play a normal game of Scrabble against a challenging opponent and I can't really do that now. With no high score facility either, I can't even play on to see how many points I can thrash them all by! FRUSTRATING and DISAPPOINTING in the extreme. Unless you are only a very mediocre player, I would miss this and wait for a better version to arrive.
