Ratings and Reviews
Bonus Hog Problem
I love this game and have been playing it a long time. I only have two achievements I had not achieved until today, one of which is Bonus Hog, cover 50 or more bonus spaces in one game. So, today I did it. There are a total of 65 bonus spaces and I counted, repeatedly, that only 15 were left uncovered; yet the Bonus Hog achievement is still locked. That hurt my feelings. I worked so hard to accomplish that, forsaking high scoring to get there. Don’t know if I’ll be able to do it again. Wish this had worked. 😞Still love the game. I’ll give 5 stars when that is fixed.
Almost perfect.
This really is a great game. If anyone wants to use it to improve their scrabble play, please be aware that the word list it uses is probably not the one you will use playing the board game. Many words are absent from the official dictionary, for example, and the best I could find if the word list it uses does not have even rudimentary definitions, or other justification for its inclusion, let alone information on who compiled or maintains the word list.
This isn't so much a complaint, as I suspect this is some nonsense involving copyrights, et cetera, but I would love to have a dictionary like version of the words the game deems acceptable.
Worthy option
Wanted a scrabble-like alternative where I didn’t have to play against another person/computer. This is the best option I’ve found. Playing alone is great, the challenge is using all the tiles.
Love it but:
Sometimes the only tiles that come up are all vowels or consonants
After you win it doesn’t automatically start a new game
Wish the dictionary had all the scrabble words
