Quick App Review: Scrabble
The game App I’ve been using most, by far, has been Scrabble. I love Scrabble, mostly as a computer game. I have the Mac game, and have played it for years as a quick distraction. The iPod version, out several months ago, was unplayable as the click wheel just isn’t enough of an input device to navigate the board and letters. But the touch screen of the iPhone comes through fine and the game is pretty good. What it is missing, however, is the ability to see what words are valid before you play them, like the Mac version. Also, it needs more levels of difficulty. I can beat the normal level every time, but the hard level has the computer picking words I’ve never heard of before for 100+ scores in tough positions.
