Scrabble is a well-known family game that lets you build words in a crossword-style board. It requires a bit of creativity, a decent vocabulary, and a bit of forward thinking. Now, you can play that same family friendly game online with other people including friends and relatives!
Online Scrabble is played the same way as traditional Scrabble. You receive seven tiles and you take turn placing these tiles on the board to form words. The next player then places another word made out of tiles on the board, connected to a previous word. By the end of the game the board turns into one giant cross-word puzzle and the player with the highest score wins.
Online Scrabble is also scored the same way as traditional Scrabble, with each letter assigned to a specific number of points. There are also "bonus" spaces on the board such as "double letter score", "double word score", "triple letter score", boosting a word that may be only worth 3 points to 9 points simply by where it lies on the board itself.
The great thing about Online Scrabble is that it is also compatible with many social networking website, particularly Facebook. Here you can compete with your friends or play anonymous players. There are a few ways to play. You can play live, or one move at a time, notifying your friend once you have placed a word. These games take longer to complete, especially if your competitor is not online constantly, or if you only have time to check your game sporadically.
Scrabble can provide hours of challenging word-fun and now that you can play the game online, there's no stopping you!
