SCRABBLE spells F-U-N for all! This new version of the original board game includes built-in chat and dictionary, multiple word lists, dynamic animations, and multiple speed settings for public games. An easy-to-use interface lets you play with anyone who loves the game! Great fun for all skill levels. PLEASE NOTE: Scrabble Beta is only available in the United States and Canada.
I was in the middle of two public games and lost contact with both of them. The whole page changed: theme, finished crossword puzzle, etc. Its like I never worked on the page at all? My apologies to the people I left hanging in the middle of a game. Try to start a private game with my sister but neither of us could make a connection! Very disappointing.
Would be a fun game if not so frustrating when you lose a game midway. I play with my daughter and when it was her turn she couldn't get it to respond. Finally started another game...we'll see how far we get. Also,same problem as"Cannot Create a New Game"
same problem--can't create a gamecara keyser - Dec 14, 2009 - Report this comment
This is a new problem, as I have sucessfully played 2 games already with the same person, all in paralle. Not sure what is up...
Scrabble is great but there is one fault. It won't let me create a game! It will let me do a rematch with someone but when I try to create a game it says, "Please specify whom you wish to invite". Why can't I create a game???!!!
I just want to delete that siily game that has started... Me and my husband wanted to play against eachother...but guess what...WE CAN'T...BECAUSE I CAN'T DELETE THAT STUPID GAME THAT HAS STARTED WITH SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW...GEEEEEEEE
I have tried everything to try and create a game. Have both computers on in front of me. Both google users logged in. Both have the gadget loaded. Click Create a Game. Invite Scrabble Friends, type in the 2nd users email and while its checked, click Share. A message keeps coming up that I must invite at least one friend and will not Create. On second computer the message comes up about the invite, click that and Go To Scrabble. No game there. UG!
I type a dictionary entry or try to name a game and the text appears in the IGOOGLE search box! This happens randomly and is very frustrating. Also, many times when I know it is my turn, the "game" will tell me it isn't my turn in any game. Once I do get it to work it is fun.
So far its been stable, I can play wit my parents and brother all online in our own homes. As far as the app it handles fairly well. No problems, I'm on a HP NC6000 with 2GB of RAM, running Ubuntu 9.10, It andles fairly well but still needs some improvement. My Wife and Father run mac's.. Macbook 2GB and a Macbook Pro 4GB .. Game handles great... The Stats didn't seem to report our wins/losses but I have a feeling that they are just slow tonight, I'm sure they'l update at some point. Other than that.. great app looking forward to the updates.
I just have had the hardest time playing this silly thing, It would not let me play two (2) valid words. and also, when I go to start up the gadget, it tells me it can't work until I change setting of the gadget! what settings?
I use this on a PowerBook G4 running safari with 2GB RAM. When I'm in the scrabble game itself, the game will take 100% of any available non-system processor available to it. In other words, Its running full out, all the time. Efficient?
Doesn't workRobert and Beth Marmorstein - Nov 24, 2009 - Report this comment
I am using Firefox on Linux. This application sometimes works for me and sometimes doesn't. Usually if I hit "reload" enough times, it will come up. But it takes several attempts. More importantly, even when it comes up, I am unable to add friends in the "create game" dialog.

I follow the steps, start private game, name it, the add people who I know have scrabble, hit send and all that comes up on receiver end is a notice on igoogle that I sent the scrabble gadget [not the new private game invite I created] Anybody know how to fix this?

"only available in north America" = useless. What about the rest of the World?
is there a "power users" group? i get tired of watching 4 games just sit there day after day... i've learned how to force people to forfeit now, but i'd rather just find people who want to play consistently, i understand being away when stuff comes up so i don't get upset if it slows over the weekend (although i would like to play some then too) but day after day...
its working fine for me but...Riley Stroud - Nov 9, 2009 - Report this comment
when i used a blank tile at the end of a word it didn't give me points for that word. Not sure where to submit this as a bug.

Allowed me to download it, but not to play it as I live in the wrong place, apparently. Very poor.
