Words cannot describe the ways and depth of my loves for my dear Scrabby.

Good game. . .but arguments about words can drag it down somewhat. . .

It is always fun to see what you can make out of some random letters. Even if you have to start the game with "a"

A good game, most people would consider it a classic. Sometimes excessively frustrating.

Developed in 1948 (and originally called Lexico and Criss-Cross Words by creator Alfred Butts), Scrabble is another near-perfect family game. I remember getting a deluxe version (the board was heavy plastic, had indentions to hold the tiles, and spun around) for Christmas one year. One is hard-pressed to think of a better way to remember new vocabulary than winning or losing a word challenge. Nevertheless, the fact that my interest has faded and the luck factor of Scrabble (i.e. which letters are pulled) costs some stars.

As frustrating as scrabble cn be sometimes, its also incredibly fun and again, one of those games that makes you feel smart when you win.

I've loved this game my whole life. I started as a kid and it has fueled a love of words which has made me a better reader and writer. I downloaded a Scrabble game from the internet where you can play against the computer. I play daily. My fiance is good with words and since we've been playing each other we've scored in the 400s. Great family game.

This is definitely not for morons! You need a little bit of luck but it would be well to review some of the obscure words that you can use with the high value tiles. That will give you a decided edge.

Great board game, but your getting that from a kid who's been in the national spelling bee before and gotten 3rd.

A great chance to impress everyone.

Let's not understate the factor of luck in winning this game. If somehow you repeatedly end up with seven vowels at the beginning of each turn, you're going to lose no matter how voluminous your vocabulary may be.

A very good game, which, considering the spelling abilities of a good number of reviewers, is achieving a surprisingly high rating. UPDATE: GoneAway, I assume your comment about going through spells with this game was a deliberate pun.

I have always loved playing scrabble. Got to love that triple word score when you have a word that begins with the letters QU.

Only a five when played dirty.

I never play with points, but it's still a great way to have some fun and kill time when you're bored.

have trouble spelling so it isonly a ok game.

It's a good game if you know how to spell. If you don't know how to spell I suggest you go find a different game or go and find someone who cn help you. Its a good game. Just not one of my favorites.

Fun, classic word/board game; I just wish there had been more letters, and not so many Qu's and X's.

Another great game for the bright and verbally unchallenged. It's fun to get people to challenge you on a bizarre word... there is opportunity for bluffing a little like in poker.

Nothing beats a good game of scrabble because you actually have to use your brain. Ef u kant spel thin u khant pley.
