Easy to load, lots of difficulty levels. A great product. The company even contacted me to see if I was happy with the product.

It's different, but easy to use. This game is great and it has the words za and qi in the game. My old scrabble game wasn't thelatest edition. It'san improvement over the old game.

After several years I decided to buy a new Scrabble, updated for my current OS X. It usually does, but sometimes it also crashes. I tried three different words, with a "u" twice, and with an "e" once, and each of these times a message came up saying in effect that the letters weren't lined up properly, as in I didn't have them positioned down or up. I used to have a Scrabble game for my Mac but when I upgraded the old game didn't work. What happened was towards the end of a game, I was creating a two-letter word. I DID have them lined up normally, and it then dawned on me that I used to have this problem occasionally with the older version. So as when the game crashed, I was obliged to once again quit the game and start over.

I'm using Safari. Since the game I bought was from 2007, I expected it to work fine. There's also a strange little thing that happened once so far that I remember used to happen with the old version I had -- so apparently this time I must have bought one from the very same maker. Other than these two things, I have no other complaints.

I find it a little too tempting to use the Hint function. I ordered this game after being humiliated playing Scrabble with friends. It has provided good practice and allows you to play at various levels of skill. Usually the words that the Hint function comes up with are words that nobody except Merrium Webster has ever heard of.

I highly recommend this game for word lovers - this Mac version is superb. I have had as many as 6 different types of the game - travel editions to deluxe and I really love the computerized version with a handy embedded dictionary and the ability to play alone or with a friend or with a computerized opponent of the level you choose. I LOVE Scrabble. I have been broadening my skills and vocabulary with every game. I had an older one that I liked - but this one is the cat's pajamas.
