Scrabble Championship discussion

I say scrabble (wwf)

the conquer club seems really slow going

in for scrabble

no smartphone here

I'm down with Words With Friends and Wordfeud. If there is a non-smartphone way of doing it then thats cool too.

what is worng with using wordbiz... i'm assuming we all have computers here???

also there is an ADJOURN game option if it can't be completed in one sitting ala game knot

No to whoever suggested 4 player games

i'm against installing software when it seems unnecessary.

doing research now for a decent online (none-installation) version now.

i'll delete the poll too

pls start a seperate risk thread.

great idea. no smartphone yet.

 

why not just do an online one like http://www.lexulous.com/ and forget the smartphone thing?

i signed up but it seems to be a fast paced sit and play game rather than come and go. am i missing that option?

don't be scared.. it's like a 60kb client that opens you up to a world of non stop scrabble enjoyment.

it looks like you can link your facebook words with friends account to the app account. so perhaps that is the best option. if you don't have facebook or a smartphone then....i don't know

i just think it will put people off signing up for the tournament. i'll try it out.

also, wordbiz is tied to the international scrabble club and contains all the official dictionaries (sowpods etc) to ensure absolute ruling on questionable words. i'm not playing on some 2 bit scrabble knock off that won't allow quincunx (311pts) across two triple word score squares.

only issue i see is that we'll all have to be friends on facebook. so maybe that won't work

What about Pogo's official version of Scrabble? It's really quite fun.

with Words With Friends, I'm pretty sure you don't need to be Facebook friends with someone to play them. You can find them by username. Amirite?
