This article is about how to play word games on your PC with Scrabble Plus. There are a number of computer versions of the original board game. But with this adaptation you not only get to play the traditional board game against your computer, but this PC version also has additional game play modes.

Play Scrabble Against the Computer with 4 Unique Modes

Classic Mode – allows you to play as you would the original, with the same rules and method of play. Each player takes it in turns to place their letter tiles on the board from their rack of tiles to make the best word score. The usual double and triple points apply, i.e. when the player places tiles on premium squares of the board or for using premium letters.
Golf Mode – where you must make the longest words in order to reach the green.
Battle Mode – use strategic word play to take on a challenging opponent.
Wizard Mode – test your word skills in this mode which also includes the popular Clabbers tournament.

The Scrabble Diamond Anniversary Game is perfect for fans and collectors. It is special because it marks the 60th anniversary of the popular word game. Hasbro commemorates the occasion by releasing one of the fanciest versions of the game to date. But what makes it different from other versions of Scrabble?

1. A Special Board with Raised Grids. The grids hold your tiles in place on the board. The quickest way to start confusion is to have someone’s letters slide out of place. This happens often when more than two people play, and the board is spun to face another player. Thankfully, this version of the game ends that problem.

You can stop worrying about your letters getting knocked out of place. This means no more confusion about what letters went where. And that means fewer arguments between friends and family.

2. A Sturdy Board and Carrying Case. The game board is attached to a rotating base that doubles as a carrying case. This comes in handy when you play away from home. The pieces stay in the box where they belong during transport.

3. Built-In Storage Trays. I love this feature. Storing the racks after a game drives me nuts. I have to get them into the box just right. If I don’t, the board sticks up and the box stays open. Do you have this problem? The Scrabble Diamond Anniversary edition solves that problem with built-in storage racks. (more…)
