Mind your Ps and Qs with Scrabble Mobile

Bringing a hugely cherished experience to a new medium is a tricky business. When you’re dealing with something like Scrabble, which is as much an institution as it is a simple boardgame, you need to be doubly careful.

Fortunately, the clever people at RealArcade are a dependable lot when it comes to crafting quality mobile experiences, and so Scrabble Mobile proves to be a resounding success. They’ve managed to squeeze the whole board onto your screen while keeping things clear and understandable at all times.

On top of a solid representation of the Scrabble basics, the developers have added a whole host of game modes and bonus features to get the most from the timeless format. Solitaire allows you to play Scrabble alone, turning it into a relaxing alternative to the humble crossword. Quick mode, on the other hand, does away with the board altogether, simply charging you with forming as many words as possible from your letters.

With play for up to four human players, Scrabble Mobile really is the perfect travelling companion – whether the journey is a solitary commute or a family holiday. We’d recommend that you pick it up, and allow Scrabble to bring you under its spell all over again.
