Freeware Scrabble? (yeh, right) - That's what I said !!!
I am the author of the identical blogs on bloglines, which doesn't appear in a search other than on bloglines.
After several months trying to find a true, freeware version of scrabble, I eventually, quite by chance, came across a scrabble game which claimed to be free, but wasn't. Several more, “claiming to be freeware", were unfortunately substandard and contained trojans, virus and spyware, as well as not being true freeware. One well known one was a 1 hour license - shareware, a lie as the information said it was freeware.
The scrabble game I am going to talk about is totally freeware, virus, trojan and spyware free. GUARANTEED

It is far superior than the official pc game which is very slow, using lots of memory and does not compare to this version, in any shape or form. At least that it is only my personal opinion and others may disagree. It plays on xp and vista with no problems.
Interface - ease of operation
The interface is clean, easy to play and learn and very easy to get use to.. - ( I mean, who wants a poor digital person thinking and dancing when the pc player gets a second or third 7 letter word in). You can play with up to 6 players, including if you desire, a computer opponent or if you wish, play a solo game by yourself then you can.
There are quite a few advantages with the game, compared to other formats of the same game.

* You don’t have to drag each letter individually.
* You make a word by clicking on individual letters until you can see your word directly above the tile space. You then move the word with the mouse to the desired position on the board, rotating the word from horizontal to vertical by right clicking the mouse if you need or wish to.
* You can save the game and resume easily a saved game.
* The game is not installed as you run the programme from the folder following the download and after extracting the contents of the zip to a destination you know well, like documents or downloads ….etc. All you do is double click the letter q,choose new game and the number of players. Name the players if you wish.

* Once you have placed your letters, the next person can only see the word or words that have been played. The person who is the next player clicks their name at the top and the letters appear down at the bottom of the game window.
I could probably babble on for ages but I am sure that you just want the game http www address.
Well, here it is...................
http://www.lionking.org/~timwi/progs.htm
Once you go to the web address you will find a few pieces of software and might be interested in trying them. There are a few different languages you can use in scrabble providing you download the language separately – There are instructions there which explains all of the software functions and faq’s. It would probably be unfair to go into all the aspects of this scrabble programme, as the programme builder explains all of this and more besides. The main reason for writing this blog is so that hopefully more people will find it in a search and so can have the opportunity to download and try it for themselves. All I can say is that the programme is truly fantastic and if you do download and play it, then I am sure you will agree.
Please be sure to follow this blog as I intend to compose a help blog for downloading, installing and running on Windows XP and Vista.
Sometimes it is easier to play and set up after running the game 2 or 3 times. Play will be picked up easily, every time you play.I don't think anybody will have problems in running the game but if anyone struggles with anything in the game then I would be happy to try and reply with Timwi's consent. I have no involvement in the writing of the game, and would expect anyone to reply to Timwi and not me.
PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK FOR TIMWI AS HE HAS WORKED HARD IN WRITING THIS SOFTWARE

ReplyDeletewhat a great post..i would surely download this one..i have a board game at home, i usually play it when i am done with my work
ReplyDeleteTwo letter scrabble words
Thank you and as the official scrabble on FB the 2 letter words are a great tool. I haven't looked at my blog for such a long time. I still use this freeware even on my Windows 8 PC.
