If you want to play Scrabble with your friends, but you don't want to kill the competitive nature of the game, then Pogo is the place to go. If you live outside of North America, you'll be playing the Scrabble Worldwide edition on Facebook instead.

Still, it's the best way to play online, though Words with Friends has a Facebook version now, which actually runs smoother than Scrabble-on the Web and on mobile devices. And the 'teacher' feature is available for your opponent to help them out, which I'm not a big fan of. There is no way to challenge your opponent, which should be an added option. It has a dictionary in each game, so players can see if their words are actually words or not, which I guess doesn't really matter since you can place fake words down on the board without it counting against you anyway. Hasbro's online version of Scrabble (developed by EA) is great because you don't have to stick to playing on Facebook, but you can connect your games using the mobile apps for iPhone and Android.

I'm not a big fan of games on Facebook, but if you want to play Scrabble against your friends, this is the easiest and fastest way to do it.

Plus it keeps your word wits strong so that your in-person skills won't diminish over time.īelow are my three favorite places. For the obsessed Scrabbler, it's a dream come true. You no longer have to wait for that continuous hour-long sitting, because you can play any time you want-with as many people as you want. Playing online Scrabble isn't as fun as battling it out in the flesh, but it's addicting nonetheless. But that's okay, because almost everyone has a computer or a mobile device now, which means you can still get your Scrabble fix, only it's online and not in person. It's nearly impossible these days to have a game of Scrabble like that, because everyone's lives are so busy and getting together in person is a constant challenge. The score's recorded and you feel sorry for your bitter rival, but then you remember you're not there to lose, you're there to win, and most importantly-to have fun. You try to keep a straight face while you watch your opponent sweat, but you can't help but release that diabolical grin of self-admiration as you play the elusive triple-triple. There's nothing better than playing a game of Scrabble, feeling the smooth wooden tiles in your hand and savoring the heavy fumes of cardboard, cheap wood and plastic as you rearrange the letters on your rack into the perfect word.
