Scrabble

I am playing Scrabble at Facebook! I didn't know about it till I saw people playing Uno. Scrabble is already established compared to Uno, which is still in beta. If you know how to play Scrabble, it will be easy for you to start playing this game. What I like about this game is that the game allows you to use dictionary. It lets you have a look for 2 letter words. Where usually you don't even know about those words, or not sure whether do they exist. Players are allowed to set the time limit per turn. It can go as high as 1 week per turn, to me is too long. I prefer to set my settings to 5 minutes. Players at the lobby are allowed to filter the games according to you settings. Even the skill of the players can be set. The game will be available to all Facebook users, except US and Canada.
The bad thing about this would be, users might leave there unattended. This makes per turn even longer. The nudge tool do work on them sometimes. However do try to chat with the players, to make sure all of them in the game are active. In the game itself, you are able to sort the letters according to alphabetical order or shuffle them. Users will find it useful, when they ran out of ideas to form the words. I use it all the time. You can also exchange letters if you need them, however that will be counted as a turn. There will be a list of all the letters that are left in the bag, so you can roughly know how many more high score tiles are left inside. The best thing about this game is, each game is recorded online with a Game ID. You can view the games that you have played, and study them to make it even better. It is a nice game for those who like to form words or play with English words. I am one of the fans of this game as well! I was second in school last time. :D

I played with a Devon, England granny. She was leading in the beginning, but in the end took over her. It score with 276:320. Her strategy was rather to make two words per turn. While I took advantage of the triple word score. Nice game. ;D
