Gameplay[edit]
The Computer Edition of Scrabble reproduced the game board, tiles, and game pieces onscreen. A clock is included to promote rapid thinking to spell and place words within a user-defined time limit. The game also has lightning- and tournament-timing alternatives. The player's letter rack is visible at the bottom of the screen. The player types a word composed of letters from the rack, and if the word is acceptable by the game, the player moves the cursor to the game board to position the word onscreen and score the move. The player may also pass a turn, request a hint of one playable word, and see the tile values at any time through the use of a pull-down menu.[1]

In 1988, Dragon gave the Macintosh version of the game 3 out of 5 stars.[1]Macworld reviewed the Macintosh version of Computer Scrabble, praising its faithfulness to the original board game, and challenging AI opponent. They also praise Scrabble's graphics, stating that the 'game board is well designed, with premium-word and -letter squares that are easy to distinguish.' Macworld criticizes its incompatibility with older keyboards, stating that 'pressing any key on the bottom row produces the letter to its left', and a glitch where the game refuses any valid words entered, requiring the game to be rebooted.[2] Dvb t usb mac os x.
