Deleted the horrifying Scrabble Go, and what a feeling!!!!! Which wordmaster? There is hope at last. Thanks for the Word Masters recommendation. I found another similar game called Lexulous.
You can play the computer as well as invite and play friends. Interface is a bit wonky but overall not too bad. Thanks for the heads-up about Lexulous.
My brothers and sisters and I are checking it out, now. It looks promising! Word Feud is another good option. We are all in our sixties and early seventies and love playing Scrabble together. Thanks for writing this. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, losing the old Scrabble game has been devastating, and trying to find an even somewhat adequate replacement has been exceedingly frustrating bordering on completely maddening. Scrabble Go sucks for a multitude of reasons that others have already mentioned.
Besides the obvious, here are my other complaints. If I wanted to play against the computer, I would have selected that option. Also, the average skill level seems to be lower on Scrabble Go than it was on the old game. The time crunch factor seemed to hinder my game. I liked the 2 or 5 minute per turn options in the old Scrabble game, but anything less than that is too much pressure for me. Especially loved was the Teacher button, which was not on Words with Friends etc.
Almost enough to send us all over the edge! It might just save the sanity of many of us! As the song goes. As fare as the rest of us are concerned we can get lost! Thanks for your write ups on this Josh. Over here in the UK we thoroughly agree that this is outrageous. In addition to leaving a 1 star rating, signing the petition, writing to the CEOs of Scopely, I also reached out to a couple of media outlets here in the UK. Being able to exchange letters and not lose a turn is BS. And there is no rhyme or reason for when you have to pay gems or just watch the same inane ad.
After trying to play the travesty that is ScrabbleGo I am so very glad i found this post. Thank you very much for the information and research. So very sad! However , letting you know, CH and ZO have been words since I started national and occasionally international tournament for 27 years.
That is currently from OSW19 lists. So this is a pseudo-review piece promoting a most likely illegal copy of Scrabble called Word Master Pro.
Also note that GO is evolving with each new version. With 1. New versions are coming out regularly with upgrades and I look forward to them. I suggest people keep checking it out as new versions are released. Trying to promote a competing app off the back of a hit piece is pretty desperate. Why are you posting bullshit on WithoutBullshit? Yes, wordmaster lacks some features like multiplayer and dictionaries.
But the without ads feature of Scrabble Go costs several dollars per month, a subscription model, whereas the EA app and wordmaster charge a one-time fee. Was the one-time fee too low to support the service? There would have been many ways to raise the cost without selling the exclusive rights to Scopely, the Martin Shkrely of online games. I have a different issue with the Scopley Scrabble Go in that my icon on my iPhone has been stuck for the last two days and I am unable to continue my Scrabble games.
I still get the notifications, but cannot enter into the actual games and I have shut down and restarted my phone as well. I had contacted Scopley and got one acknowledgement yesterday, but no fix has been offered as yet, which is incredibly frustrating, as I do not want to lose my history, gems, etc.
I feel I have been a good ambassador for the App, having introduced several people to it, so I am disappointed with the timing of the service response. The engagement with me has been excellent once they got moving and I feel that I at least owe them the courtesy of letting this group know of that fact.
I feel better knowing that there are others that loved the EA app and hate the foolishness of ScrabbleGo. One other thing that I liked about the EA app is that it kept track of wins and losses. Does anyone know if ScrabbleGo keeps track of wins and losses?
Or do I have to win a cape or some shit first? Any lawyers here? Are there grounds for a class-action suit here at least for those who paid for the ad-free version of the old Scrabble?
Many thanks for posting about Word Master Pro, a wonderful app. I have been trying Scrabble Go and it is a truly awful experience. Their support is also a joke despite earlier comment about it being good.
I hate this new ap too. More frustrating than fun half the time it does not work smoothly like the other one did. About ready to quit it. Plus no explanation of that stupid crossword game to get the letters to go where they should be.
Not fun like it once was! Thanks for this, I was very ha[[y with my old version of Scrabble, and loathe the new version. For a simple game? I also now realise that I have been playing against bots for the last month, without knowing it! There is almost nothing to like about the game and much to hate, for example, all the fuss about winning new types of tiles! Thanks for the Word Master tip, I installed it and breathed a sigh of relief when I opened it. I mean, would anyone take a chessboard and gamify it?
So why do it to Scrabble? The games are live, so you need to play straight through, but you can choose the maximum length of time for each turn when you set up each game. Thanks for the info about word master, but is there ANY multi-player games besides words with friends out there anymore?
Check it out. The only hitch is that I think you need to play the games straight through. You can set the amount of time max that each turn can take though. Yes, check out Lexulous. I have been playing it with friends for years. It is slightly different rules than Scrabble, but not hard to get used to. If anyone is interested, we have an email based game of pure Scrabble that has been online since listed below. We have ten Official Scrabble dictionaries and the 21 x 21 Super Scrabble game.
Scopely has made Scrabble GO for one reason and one reason only: to pelt users with obnoxious ads for crap that no one could possibly want. Ads are supposed to advertise a product that someone would conceivably want to buy. Nobody could possibly want them. In other words Scopely is running a protection racket.
Pay me to protect yourself from me. What can be done about it. Do not complain about technical glitches, things for the developer to resolve. Maybe someone can help. If all the bile that has been released on this site were pushed onto Apple and Google, maybe something could be done. I tried clicking the link, but could not find a way to actually file a complaint? Can you provide more details?
Enter your Apple ID and Password. Find Scrabble GO and write down the order number on the right. On the next screen I chose Email. You enter your name, email address, Scrabble GO for the Item Title and Type in the order number you wrote down previously. Then enter under Additional Details something like this you only have characters. Submit this and they will get back to you with a boilerplate email asking your for purchase receipt, etc.
Mostly accurate analysis, although anyone can see that Scrabble GO is aimed at children and the bottom line. EA Scrabble has always been like that too, and is I believe the main reason that serious across-the-board players refuse to play it.
So, what to do? And its UI is pretty awful, to be honest. Lexulous is too far from Scrabble now to appeal to me. I will probably give up the game altogether, and play more chess. Finally, to the OP, please note that just about every country in the world — and, I believe, every international tournament — uses the English dictionary, not the American one.
CH, for example, is a fine word; drawing a C is enough of a handicap as it is. Truly horrendous. Also, thanks for the recommendation for WordMaster. Personally I much prefer CrossCraze for playing against a computer.
And WordFeud is a decent option for internet play. How to access Scrabble Classic Mode You can easily swap from one mode to the other following these steps: Tap on the Profile Picture in the top-left corner of the Home Lobby. Tap on the Settings cog icon in the top-right corner to open Profile Settings Tap on Mode Settings toward the bottom right and select the mode you prefer.

Will never play Scrabble Go…Will boycott all Hasbro related products for the rest of my life. Already using scopelyied as a verb the definition of which means taking something really beautiful or interesting and turning it into crap.
Thinking about adding the word to Wikipedia. Slang word that will be my lifelong goal to get into the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
Into the Scrabble dictionary before I die would be poetic justice. My siblings and I have played Scrabble online for years and are dreading the demise our our classic game. It is June 6th the 5th being touted as the end date and curiously, our games are still going… one can only hope!
In the meantime we have started playing Wordfeud which is a far better alternative to the garish and annoying Scrabble Go. Thank you for this excellent, very well written post! At least I now know what really happened! Let us hope Scopely is on a crash course with their million dollar babybot!
I think they are phasing it out. Have a bunch of incomplete games and the plays are usually quick to respond. It still works if you just want to play against the computer or in pass-around mode. How do you feel about "Word Art?
Describe your bathroom in one word. I need lots of suggestions please my friends leave your comment, thank. You can click on the completed game to see what word was played. The value you your remaining tiles becomes a negative when your opponent plays all of their letters. So irritating I have had this happen to randomly also. Just a weird glitch in the game I guess, because it has happened when we were nowhere near the end of the game.
I gave up and hit " okay" to " you resigned" and the game came back. Very weird but good to know. Rose,, I play on my iPad, but works on smart phones, etc. Oh, And i took another look and do not even see a resign button.
Very weird. I sometimes hit the resign button by accident but it always asks me if I actually want to resign. This had never happened to me before. I have never resigned a game and pretty sure I didn't this time. The annoying thing is it's just sitting out there with my other active games. Can I get it to go away?

I accidently opened games with 3 people that i do not have anything to do with and do not want any contact with them. It is very upsetting to know you cant get of rid of the games….. Is very small print for people with fat fingers! Will they still be able to see my picture on the leaderboards? Would like to know why deleted messages keep coming back over and over again.
Deleted them at least 5 times today. Month old messages. Gets a bit irritating This is on an ipad. My opponent and I are tied T points each. Neither of us can use the remaining tiles that we have. How do we end this standoff? I had same experience twice. One was a guy. I made mistake of replying to 1 msg, but after he left 2 more silly messages I resigned—counted as my loss. Thank you! I have a game open…however I am unable to play since every time I tap on game WWF shuts down completely.
How do I remove? I have shut down my device as well…. Any suggestions? Esther, no, you can only have a certain number of games going at any one time in Words with Friends, so if you are getting a message that they are maxed out, it means that they already have the maximum number of games going, and they will need to end one before they can start another one. If you were playing a game with someone and all of the sudden they resigned and when I try to start another game with them I get a message that the player is maxed out, does that mean the player blocked me?
I have games on my iphone that want me to nudge a person after 35 days. On my computer, I have only five active games, but on my phone I have about These games are with the same people, and they are obviously finished.
