what is there not to like about Scrabble (other than losing)??  it involves words, letters, strategy, competition, smarts, luck, memorization and plain ol, use-it-or-lose-it brainpower.  anyone can play  - but the trick is to know the following:

 - all 2 letter words
 - all words with a Q and no U
 - that  Za and Qi are now acceptable words (they were not allowed in the previous version of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary).
 - keep letters in your rack that will help you create a BINGO (7 letter word) - like "un" or "ed" or "ing", etc.

there's a great site called the Pixiepit where you can play online - it's very addictive!

Scrabble is a great game!

I think Boggle is a great "practice-field" for Scrabble, because it helps you learn to recognize words quickly. The more words you have to choose from the better your Scrabble game will be. I also like a card game called Quiddler when I don't have time for a full Scrabble game.

This is my favorite game and I get really competitive while playing!
review by . December 01, 2009
I like games. I like words. I like games with words, and have friends who primarily like games with words. So Scrabble comes up often as the go-to game, especially on Facebook. And I can't really take it anymore.      See, there are two things I like in my parlor games: strategy and player interaction. There are two things I don't really like in my parlor games: luck and memorization. Scrabble is, unfortunately, based almost entirely around the last two. It's …

Pros: Do I really have to answer that? *wink*     Cons: Kind of cold if you're losing...     I posted a review about Scrabble, and mentioned the game of Strip Scrabble. Perhaps it isn't appropriate to post this here, but I'm taking my chances... If there are a lot of complaints, I'll delete it.      There are two ways to play Strip Scrabble. In both cases, you begin the same way you would begin any other Scrabble game: Everyone gets a tile …

Pros: Educational, Fun, Interesting, Competitive, For anyone who knows how to spell     Cons: Only 4 players max.     I come from a very competitive family. Every person in my family is good at one specific thing. My Grandfather was the boxer, Gramma the cook, Mom the painter, Sister the rower, Uncle the lacrosse player...      And Candice the Scrabble Diva.      Okay, okay, okay, maybe I give myself too much credit. …

About this product

Wiki


Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on a game board marked with a 15-by-15 grid. The words are formed across and down in crossword fashion and must appear in a standard dictionary. Official reference works (e.g. The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary) provide a list of permissible words. The Collins Scrabble checker can also be used to check if a word is allowed.[1]

The name Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro, Inc. in the United States and Canada and of Mattel elsewhere. Scrabble was a trademark of Murfett Regency in Australia, until 1993 when it was acquired by J. W. Spear & Sons (now a Mattel subsidiary). The game is also known as Literati, Alfapet, Funworder, Skip-A-Cross, Scramble, Spelofun, Palabras Cruzadas ("crossed words") and Word for Word.

The game is sold in 121 countries in 29 different language versions. One hundred and fifty million sets have been sold worldwide, and sets are found in one out of every three American homes
