 Download Troubles November 7, 2002

I downloaded the software, but it would install on my system. Even though I had the correct version it wouldn't install on my system. I'm running Win98. First thing the install wizard looked for was Palm OS drivers. Since they weren't on my system, no installation....
 Fun, but needs work. January 22, 2002

Scrabble for Palm is fun, easy to use, and entertaining. BUT, it uses words, like "doura" and "pe," not found in the Oxford English Dictionary. And doesn't recognize common words that are, like "di," and "ur." It also misscores sometimes.
 Great, but not OWL February 1, 2003

I think this game is great and the implementation on PalmOS PDA is fantastic. Not only is the color usage great, but fitting everything onto a small pixel screen is amazing. I never feel that it is too small, though.My only complaint is the dictionary. It does not use OWL (Official Tournament and Club Word List) but some version of OSW (Official Scrabble Words) or OSPD (Official Scrabble Players Dictionary), the combination of which is usually called SOWPODS. Grrrr. So, on some words that I know are words accepted in professional play, I end up hitting "accept word" after I get the popup saying it is not a word. [edit: Turns out to be OSPD, which is still quite limiting] The latest version has the definitions, but I don't care for that. Many people will, though, and it is a great feature. I either know the definition or don't care, but I do not have the memory space in my PDA with all my other applications. Perhaps when I upgrade my PDA I will add in the defintions. Complaints aside, this is a great implementation of a great game and have it on my PDA. You should, too. Definitely a five-star game.

This is ONLY for the Palm OS. In some places, it says WIn 95/98/etc. Well, it's NOT! USELESS
 Pretty Mediocre Overall January 4, 2002

It is definitely not challenging. It might exercise the abilities of a complete beginer but I can't see this version of this game providing stimulation for anyone who regularly scores even 250's in the regular game.
I found the tiles hard to read (and I use an M505).
It's levels are not configurable (you can't tune the computer to play "smarter" or "dumber" to match your abilities). The developers need to work harder on this one. Until then, I will be returning it to the store.
