Not quite the old Scrabble app but not too bad
Sat Jul 17 2021 Mollys Mom 2000

I have been playing Scrabble with the original Scrabble app for years. I love it. I was very upset when it was no longer being supported. I downloaded Scrabble Go about a year ago and deleted it after a few minutes. I would rather play Candy Crush (which I also hate). I just wanted a version of the old board game that I could play on my phone or iPad. I kept the old Scrabble app, which I loved, until today. It was messing up my iPad too much. I downloaded Scrabble Go again thinking that in a year they may have listened to all the reviews asking for a basic Scrabble game that would be good for adults. I was wrong and within 5 minutes I deleted it - again. I hated Scrabble Go because I don’t want to play against another person. I want to play in a time frame that fits my schedule - not someone else's. I hate having to wait for them to make a move. I also hated all the video game extras. I just wanted my old Scrabble app or something close. I found this app and read the reviews. It needs some improvement, but it is much, much better than Scrabble Go. My biggest complaint - not able to use it in landscape on my iPad. I have a keyboard attached and using it in portrait is a pain. For that, it gets only 4 stars. I also miss having the “teacher” show me what I could have scored with a different word. I’ll probably get over it though.

Fun on easy level
Wed Apr 22 2020 eightbelles72

I think I’m a relatively intelligent person but as soon as I bought the pro version, some strange words appeared on MEDIUM level (supposed to be the second easiest level). “Enrol” is allowed as an alternative to “enroll,” but not “reenrol”? Medium is nearly impossible to beat. So I switched to EASY and still found strange words like “adepts” (“adept” is a word but I’ve never heard of “adepts”). Also, the auto zoom when you take your turn putting down letters gets extremely annoying. I would like to see this feature done away with, otherwise I’m constantly zooming back out with each turn (which in turn causes me to inadvertently highlight words and I have to X out of the pop-up definition window, even more annoying). Finally, when I play to the end of the bag and have only one or two letters left, the opponent keeps skipping turns so I’m the one left to search high and low for a spot to play my final letters, or end the game. Is there no better way to handle this? It’s a waste of time. Otherwise it’s a great game! I like being able to take my time playing against the computer/phone, not having real opponents who take forever with their turn, and just being able to focus on the game. Word Domination is the opposite, making you pay to play games, and play different types of games just to earn enough gems to play the scrabble game. This is much better.

Refuge for real players!
Fri Jul 02 2021 Grammie Duckie

I had been a hasbro pro player for years, but dumped them when they turned greedy and stupid. When they made a classic intelligent game into candy-cotton drivel, I searched for a place to flee. Found Word Master and gratefully paid the $3 for what I thought would be a respectable refuge. This provides a clean, clear, and consistent experience—just what devoted word games players really want! Come on board, fellow refugees! Two suggestions: 1. Keep track of my win/loss record. I took silent pride in my 98% score over 1000’s of games and 3,000 bingos. 2. Give the option to use a couple of “best word” gimmes with each game. I liked tapping the computer to get me over a stump, playing at the expert level. But if those requests are never granted, no worries; I’m still a true fan!

Decent successor to Scrabble
Tue May 12 2020 Krisberkeley

After reading so many negative reviews about the new Scrabble Go I looked at other options. This is a very decent alternative. Pro: has a nice unobtrusive “Master” icon you can click to find the better plays (not just the best!) you could have made. Con: when playing Pass and Play, you have to click the next person’s name before it will come up, so you get a look at their rack. Pro: nice feature of swiping to get dictionary definition. Cons: no in-game dictionary you can use to check if word is OK before you play. Also, the OK words are not conformed to Scrabble official dictionary. The ability to add 40 words to the game dictionary does not make up for this. Pro: nice interface and no distracting stuff, unlike, apparently, Scrabble Go. Pro: options include playing against the computer with ability to set difficulty levels, and Pass and Play. Overall a nice successor. If they fix the above issues I will rate it 5 stars.

Love & Hate It
Mon May 30 2022 FairDinkum

This application is excellent. The features and ability to customize it are very nice and well beyond the old (discontinued) Scrabble app. Playing the game is easy as you want it to be but hard as it can be on the most difficult level. This application is terrible. The algorithms are clearly set to load the rack of letters with losing combinations to increase difficulty. The statistical probability of having all of the “U”‘a or V”’s, or nothing but vowels is clearly low. Having this happen on a regular/consistent basis seems impossible or is improbable at best. Overall, the application has made me a better player. I take the impossible letter racks and make the best hand I can (I refuse to be forced into an exchange of letters). This, coupled with the “master” teaching feature has improved my game to where my high scores have trended much higher. But about that faulty algorithm….

Great Alternative to the Scrabble Go nightmare!
Mon Aug 17 2020 Aggravat-ED!

Like many of the other reviewers, I was a diehard Hasbro Scrabble junkie....played daily and loved it! When they closed it down and tried to migrate their fan base to Scrabble Go, I had a look at it and one day of it was a day too long!! Ugghhh, it was truly terrible! When I saw this alternative and the reviews, I decided to download it and within an hour had paid for the upgraded Pro version. This is a terrific game....fast, easily configured and games that are completed in a few minutes vs a few days like old scrabble. My only big complaint is not having the game available in Landscape...you have to currently play in portrait mode which is a pain on my iPad. Hopefully, we will see a future enhancement to address it. But otherwise, big thumbs-up for this game!!

Basic scrabble game without all the junk
Thu Aug 18 2022 jjstriumph

I really enjoy this game. There are no bells and whistles and no Las Vegas style or scammy advertisements that appear after every move like there is on Scrabble Go. That means I can finish a game in one sitting. Even though I am just playing against the computer or using the pass and play feature, It’s hands down better than the money grabbing game , Scrabble Go. I put up with Scrabble Go nonsense until it would no longer allow me to play under the “Guest” option and I absolutely refuse to allow them access to my contacts and other personal data. This game just allows you to focus on creating and learning new words. I enjoy the three levels of difficulty, the dictionary feature and recommend it to Scrabble lovers as a basic alternative to the other crap on the App Store.

Potential
Wed Jul 28 2021 That guy named Loucas

Love playing scrabble , I’m terrible at it by the way, I use to play scrabble as a way to learn American English. This game could be good, but the dev’s need to separate the English words from the American English, it just makes things confusing, and really doesn’t help people whom wish to continue to better their language, for more though this is a great English game, not much of a good American English, also way too many cheap cop-out words like od, id, os, etc… although some of those I guess words are proper, they aren’t proper words on their own, they usually require a fallow up, like unlike, instead of just un, which is not a word. Also can you please add a word limit, meaning the minimum amount of letters that can’t be used, I really love a challenge, and dislike when the AI uses two letter words, or when I turn on the hint assistant, and I get suggested two letter words, please and thank you.
