![]() ![]() Though the dictionary and point tallying will be acceptable to most players, Scrabble purists may not be completely satisfied with the way they work. A simple record-keeping system stores your best game, word, and turn scores, along with your win/loss/draw record, and the number of bingoes, where you use all seven letters at once. The good news is that EA’s built-in dictionary recognizes most words save proper nouns, which under Scrabble’s rules are not usable anyway, and the game generally assesses point tallies properly, not only racking up points for your word, but also adding ones for an adjacent word that was impacted by your use of tiles. One person can play alone, against the computer, or versus three other human opponents in “pass and play” mode, and the game both features intuitive controls-tap the Click Wheel like an eight-direction pad to move on the grid-and automates several things that would otherwise require player effort, such as tallying scores, using a dictionary to check the validity of words, and re-shuffling the tiles on your rack to help you think of words. Electronic Arts has done a pretty good job of translating the core game mechanics to the iPod format. ![]()
