There’s plenty of similarities between the new Mac version of Scrabble and the classic board game-which will suit Mac-using Scabble fans just fine.

There’s no online game component, unfortunately-so if you’re home alone, the computer is the only opponent you’ll find (although there are different skill levels you can set the computer to, so there’s always a challenge). When you play against another human, the computer pauses the game in between each turn so you don’t see each other’s tiles. This new version of Scrabble-native to Mac OS X and aįor Intel-based Macs-sticks to the basics, offering you the traditional board game (in a Classic mode) played either alone against the computer or another human player, playing in “hot seat” mode (taking turns on the same computer). The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins. Occasionally, those words will overlap with tiles that will bestow on you extra points, either for the letter or the word. Each player is given a set of letter tiles from which to build words.

The game is set on a square board of 15 cells on a side.
