The classic board game is nicely brought to life on the computer screen in this CD rendition. Features include 10 skill levels, artificial intelligence and Internet linking that lets children play with others over the Internet. The game is easy to use, kids can play against the computer or a friend, and there's an onscreen official Scrabble dictionary to look up those questionable words. Games can be played under timed conditions, and ten selections for background music provide some atmosphere. This has been a popular program with our testers. Note that this version has been updated in 1999. See Scrabble CD-ROM Crossword Game and Scrabble Online (2004).
