It's free with ads, but about a quid/two quid without.
If you have it/are up for a game, post your username here and we can get a list going :)

Will do it when I get a mo :)
Just installing the freebie now :)
And just started a game with Stan :D
This could be good seeing as you can just pick it up and put it down whenever you fancy.

Ooooh a chess or similar version of this would be awesomeness too, since i'm not a words person :p
Sounds very much scrabulicious (or what ever it was called) on face book...
But I don't have an iphone :(
Ooooh a chess or similar version of this would be awesomeness too, since i'm not a words person :p
There is also a free chess app too - same people.
What do you have Loz?
TheBurble is my username.
What a crappy set of letters it gave me!
I can make 'whore' with one of my letter sets!
Free Feekles :) I'm twilko if people want to start with me ;)
I'm Belmit, as with all logins for everything!
I shall download it ... along with all the other nifty iphone apps... just in case my time should come lol
Bah, stupid thing needs to get a better dictionary. WTF is wrong with 'gated'?
Ha! Belmit, I'll see your 'violas' and raise you a 'quoth' with 2 triple letter scores!
Feekus.
/edit - And I'm rubbish at scrabble!
Ha! Belmit, I'll see your 'violas' and raise you a 'quoth' with 2 triple letter scores!
Arse! Burble won't like 'Zoa' with the Z on a triple letter either... Having played Scrabble almost every Wednesday for about six months I've picked up a lot of really tricky words using awkward letters. :D
I'm rubbish and usually only do 4 letter words! I'm doing quite well at the mo!
Will do this when I can get off my bum and fetch the iPhone. Just hope I can read it. ;D
PS - I'm useless too. My best is usually four letter words on Countdown, and there's two extra letters available on that! :)
Bah, stupid thing needs to get a better dictionary. WTF is wrong with 'gated'?
I'm betting 'Cert' is in the Scrabble dictionary as well but it won't let me have it.
Little tip for all; as with Scrabble for iPhone you can shake the phone to jumble your letters.
The dictionary is pretty poor - It's not allowing Zex, which would really annoy Belmit if it let me have it!

There's one by the same people called "Chess With Friends".

I am about to go to bed so sorry to those I have a game with!
Only because I managed to get 24 points for playing the word "tool" to take me into the lead :p
Gaa *wants to join in* :p
Of to bed now so I'll join tomorrow. Apps downloaded.
It has a link to the dictionary it uses, if anyone bothers to look :p
I am about to go to bed so sorry to those I have a game with!
But that's the beauty of it, you can just play whenever :)
I don't care if games take the next 6 months.
Hehe Stan, I didn't see that - I have a killer comeback though, when I have some connection :p
Some good words coming out of a few of my games... veiny, gash, tool, RUMP!
Although it wouldn't let me put a 'Y' on the end for 'rumpy'.
Hehe, it's lunchtime, and everyone's playing, my phone keeps lighting up with updates :D
FRIEND?
Ha ha... and no not playing :p Rob might though!

It can be a bit picky with words....

Both those words would be allowed in regular Scrabble. ;)

one question, has anyone gone from the free one to the paid one whilst in a game?.. i cannot stand the adverts.. but, would i be better finishing the games I have running at the moment?
I upgraded today, it does it automatically & just crosses over all you'd info including active games :)
Stan and I have managed to get 'huge' and 'gland' together followed by 'muck' :D

I'll add you again Mr Black :D
Jen, I'm having so many games, that I'm never really waiting for one specific person, it's a really good little idea!
It would be good if you could have more than 2 players.
I wondered what happened with you fakey ;D

Jen, I'm having so many games, that I'm never really waiting for one specific person, it's a really good little idea!
I've pretty much had 4-5 games on the go at one time since I started. I haven't started a game myself yet - I'm waiting until I get down to two games before I do.
There are definite periods when it's busier than others. i.e. when people are at work there's not much activity except at lunchtime and then there's a fairly steady flow in the evening.
I've gathered all the usernames in one place to make it easier to find now the thread's getting longer - maybe you could copy the list into the OP Kitten?

Wow! I just got 111 for the word jinx! Yes! :D
Nice! My highest ever score for one word in Scrabble was 'retarded'. It stretched over two triple word scores and used all my letters. :D Shame it wasn't something a little more classy.
Stan_Lite
17-09-2010, 22:49
Nice one Tink. Best I've done on this so far is 84 - can't remember the word :o
I had ROMANIES once in Scrabble over two triple words using all my letters - only time I've had over 100.
Hehe well done Jaime! My pb is 99 from 'zero'

Shame it doesn't allow certain words.....Jaime already Stain but it wouldn't allow me to add Jiz on the front ;D
Added my name to the list.
I'm working in Munich this week (plus attending the Oktoberfest, obviously) so probably won't be playing this much unless the hotel has WiFi.

Stan gave me a proper kicking, but it was a fun match :D
I love scrabble - though some of the words I don't quite agree with.
There are some brilliant words to be had that are great in a pinch. QI is one which I've already used on our game. It's basically a different spelling of CHI (pronounced 'chee'). This makes the plural QIS - pronounced 'cheese'. :D
Knowing the Q words that don't require U, and all the two-letter words is extremely helpful.
I think my brain's coming out of my ear :(

Now, Mr Belmit, if I'd known you were going to give all the secrets away, I'd not have invited you! If people want to know, the DICTIONARY IS THERE!
(I just set a QI up for myself and after your post SOMEONE stole it!)
Is there a dictionary on the game?

(I just set a QI up for myself and after your post SOMEONE stole it!)
;) Love you!
If Marie had the Q there's no way she could have stolen your word. ;)
I didn't realise it had a dictionary - is it in the free version too?
Edit: Also, Will has screwed me at the last second... by putting I down to create QI and JIG.
There is, she didn't know you could use QI until you told her.
yes, bloody hell, I've said 10000000000 times in this thread that there's a dictionary! Does nobody read the posts? :p Maybe it's the smarter people that lose the games but find the dictionary ;D
That theory holds water - I've yet to lose a game but still can't find the dictionary even though I've been told there is one!

You was going to win anyway so you can haz it.
Knipples
19-09-2010, 16:25
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeematch!!! :D
And Stan wins - close though! Thanks for the game Stan. :)
Belmit just pipped me :(
REMATCH!!!!! lol :p
That was ridiculous (in a good way!) - you were ahead by 8 points and I had two letters left; R and L. I needed to use both and potentially get all 8 points to win (any points your opponent has left are deducted from their score and added to yours so you can never tell how close you need to be unless you've been counting the letters used throughout the game). There was no way I could play both letters anywhere so had to use just one, giving you another go. My only hope was that you couldn't muster enough points on that go to make up the difference. Even though you got a respectable 8 at that stage in the game I just managed it by one or two points.
Was mopping my brow after that one!
I look forward to the rematch! :D
Stan_Lite
19-09-2010, 17:44

One of the few games I have won Feek! ;)
The thing is it comes up with stupid non words too - furthermore, you can get a nice 7+ letter word and you'll get 2 points or something stupid, then you put a Q next to a Z or something and get 1000 points.
Bah, it's still fun and challenging though - it's really rather enjoyable! :)

Me too. It's working, my scores have shot up!
"Words with Pirates" is on the store, free!
It only works for a limited time and the letter set seems quite small :)
How do you do a screenshot?
I have living proof that strange forces are at work.... one of my games has two words on screen, SLIP and SHOE, and my remaining letters are actually spelling out DOBUYME.......

Press power and home button at the same time, it will save a screenshot to your camera roll :)
In one game I couldn't get an E when I wanted one, so in another I got four of the buggers. :/

I had quite a few goes where I had few chances to make any decent words so I employed the tactic of keeping the game hemmed in to one area to keep you away from areas with high scoring opportunities. I think it has helped but I don't think I have too many opportunities to claw back the deficit. Most of the game so far has been damage limitation for me, presenting few opportunities for attacking play.
Will handed me my second defeat this morning with some style. Every time I came up with a decent word to close the gap, Will would come back with a better one - I was on the back foot for most of the game.
I had a lucky run of letters with good positioning for the triple word scores etc... It's a good match up! :D

Thoroughly enjoying playing this. So far, I've only lost to Will and Belmit but my current game with Feek looks like it could go against me - Feek is obviously getting into his stride. It's nice to win but it's also enjoyable to be tested - I find it forces you to improve. I've noticed that most of the people I've played several times have been improving as they play more. Practice makes perfect.
I'm in Egypt now and will be going to the rig tomorrow so I won't be as quick to take my turns as I have been up to now but I will still be playing.
Feek is obviously getting into his stride.
Absolutely. I got a couple of 60+ pointers in a row and he pretty much answered straight back with the same.

Feek, is every game you play an epic?

The current one is another nail-biter. I've just taken the lead for the first time since near the start of the game. Looks like this one's going to the wire.
Sorry guys I dont play my turn back straight away, soooo busy at the moment !
Don't worry about it dude. I have a game that hasn't had a move in 2 weeks and another with 5 days on the clock :D (not waiting for me, I might add :p).
Upset to find quim isn't a word :p managed to get dildo into a game though :D
It is allowed in Scrabble usually - it's a bit of a limbo word as there were a whole bunch of words removed for vulgarity purposes between editions of the dictionary (to the outrage of most), but even though it wasn't specifically listed as a removed word it didn't appear in the next edition and therefore technically isn't allowed. I'm pretty sure it's in my Scrabble dictionary at home though.

Sorry Knip. I just started our game with a 7 letter word :o :p
In two of my games, I have 3 Os - in one of them, they are accompanied by another 4 vowels :(
I have 4 o's, 2 e's and a u!

Monidoll is her username if anyone has the urge to be kind - I've become addicted and she is getting neglected hahaha.

Done!
I've started playing again - after about a week off. :o
Worst I've had was four Es. in one game I got so fed up I threw the entire set back in the bag and forfeited my turn. What I got back was at least slightly better. :)
It's very rare for me to get beyond four letters. I think I've managed one six.
Updated the first post.

Not had a chance to touch it for a couple of days but will get back into the games over the weekend - I love the fact that I can just do nothing for a while and then pick them all up and carry on from where I left off.

Stan and I are having one of the most epic battles ever! I think we'll both end up on 400+ scores at this rate! :cool:

Started off really epic and then it died away a bit in the second half for me. I was getting good letters but couldn't find anywhere to use them effectively. A couple of times I had seven letter words in my rack but couldn't place them - c'est la vie.
Excellent game though - thoroughly enjoyed it. M. Le_Will eventually ran out 400-347 winner - nicely played sir :)
Ah that's a shame :( Ah well - I look forward to the next one! :D

I had a great game with Stan that finished a few days ago, it was really tight the whole way and every time one of us laid down a big score, the other would come right back. It finally came down to whoever could lay their remaining tiles down first who likely win, which fortunately was me this time. Top game though, really enjoyed it :)
I ended up playing two games with you & accidentally resigned thecwrong one after you got a huge score. Felt really bad, am very sorry about that. I generally don't resign, I'll skip til I forfeit if I really can't go.

That was a corking game which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. It was really nail biting towards the end. I've had a few close games lately and a few defeats. I had a close game with Tak around the same time which I also lost on the last go - exciting stuff.
I'm going to get a Scrabble set when I get home as my daughter is coming down to visit and she enjoys a game. Anybody have any idea where I can find a really good set? Not just the "deluxe" set which is a bit naff with it's plastic tiles and racks. I'd like to find somewhere I can get a really good quality set made of hardwood or the like. Maybe I'd be better off getting one custom made. Any idea where I might commission such a thing?
Might be some shops in town that do it?
I know a friend got a carpenter friend of his to make up a board and "burn" the letters into the pieces of wood, and made the entire thing out of wood and fake ivory - it looked amazing. I'll have to see if I can find a pic of it.
I guess scouring the internet might be your best bet?

That's exactly the sort of thing I had in mind. I did have a quick look on the interweb but the bandwidth on here is even more pitiful than usual this trip and it's painful trying to do any serious searching. I'll have a good look when I get back. Will probably just get a cheap set for when my daughter visits to tide me over.

I'm assuming you posted a link to Scrabble "Deluxe" :facepalm: :p
The board is pretty good with it's raised bits around the squares to keep the tiles in place and it's ability to spin around - and then they spoiled it entirely with the cheap and tacky plastic tiles and racks. Why couldn't they do it properly and make proper, decent quality wooden tiles and racks? :rolleyes:
I can't get my app to start, it just opens and closes even after a restart and re-downloading and installing it :(

The actual scrabble page says it includes "100 wooden tiles and tile racks"
I think the horrible surround with red "scrabble" badge ruin it for me.
I went old-school and got the Classic set. Original design board, wooden tiles, wooden racks. Bought the wooden turntable too. Love it.
I forgot all about this and have had a week away as well. Sorry to anyone who has been waiting forever for me to move.
Sorry I haven't returned any games yet - been busy. Will endeavour to get back into it soon!

Sorry, you can't use that word. It contains too many letters. :p
Work have been kind enough to give me an iPad for the weekend so that I can familiarise myself with it so we can support the ones already in use in the business. Vix is out with her work this evening and i'm at a loose end so anyone fancy a game or two? Username is ka10was as apparently there's more than one of me out there somewhere.
aahh sorry dude, only just seen this. Will send you an invite anyhoo, if you're about :)
Apologies to those I'm mid-game with but the iPad has now been reset to factory settings ready to go back in the morning. Cheers for the games anyway.
I'm back! I just started the app as some people at work have got it now and it worked. I was welcomed by about 20 games that had timed out but there are still a few that are active. I'll carry on as best I can with them.
I'm still playing if anyone wants :) I'm not much of a challenge :p
I BEAT STAN!
I think the problem before may have been that I had too many games open which is what screwed it - It still shows a game with Mark that's been idle for 47 days and I'm sure that should have timed out by now.
Yes, you won that one 25 days ago.

I can haz iPhone! Which means I'm back for good. Username is ka10was

Just to let Feek and kaiowas (both of whom I have ongoing games with) know, the rig I'm on at the moment has no wireless internet so I can't play for now. Just so you know why I'm not playing.
Take your time, I'm losing this one so badly I'd be quite happy for it to time out! :p

Download "hanging free" and then add me on the same name as I have for words with friends. Its a glammed up version of hangman. I've got no one to play with you see. :)
