This version of Scrabble not only allows the expected muli-player games and games against the computer at various skill levels, but also allows games between computers on a local area network, as well as over the Internet. The built-in dictionary is good, although it’s missing a some words (e.g., ki, kis, qi & qis) that are included in the Merriam-Webster Official Scrabble Players’ Dictionary, 4th Edition. As near as I can tell, 166,184 of the 267,751 words recognized by SOWPODS (anagram of two acronyms: OSW (Official Scrabble Words) OSPD (Official Scrabble Players Dictionary) – the word list used in tournament Scrabble in most countries except the USA, Thailand and Canada) are in the Scrabble Complete Dictionary. Too bad, definitions are not included; so you should still have a dictionary handy. There is a custom dictionary capability and it seems to work except for a bug: if you give it words of 15 characters (more can’t fit across a Scrabble board), when it reviews the custom dictionary (described in the manual), it will strip off the last characters causing it to accept any resulting miss-spellings. The Internet and network play features work fine, but do not allow more than one player on each computer. I have not tried to see if it allows a network game that includes connections on both Internet and network. I have not had any problems running the program under Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional. There appears to be a minor bug in the video driver when switching back to it using Alt+Tab, but if the Scrabble screen doesn’t come back, just use the mouse to paint it back (you’ll see what I mean if you experience it). Too bad the game doesn’t use a Window instead of full screen only. Even if it has been installed on the computer, you must have the CD in a drive to start the game. Once the game is started, the CD can (but need not) be removed. The overall menu system is a bit clumsy. You must often first click on your selection, making it yellow, and then on Okay (2 clicks, where one would have sufficed). The program also has a chat and sound capability for network and Internet use that is cute.

Love doing puzzles. Scrabble is a puzzle all in it’s self. Excellent way to spend time and relearn the English language. Keep up your spelling and learn new words as you play by yourself, with someone or against the computer generated person. Tons of fun and never the same dull game.
A must have for anyone attempting to keep up with the English language or just for fun!

I have this scrabble CD and have enjoyed it so much that I purchased this one for my daughter. This game is user friendly and runs on my Dell Inspiron as well as on my daughter’s new Dell. One reason that I selected this particular CD is that I knew that it would run on different systems and was not sure that the other products would do so. This game is very similar to the real board game. I especially enjoy playing this game with a computer partner. I am now able to play Scrabble whenever I want to because I am never without a partner!
