Scrabble: The Deluxe Computer Edition

DOS - 1990

A great version of classic boardgame, Scrabble Deluxe features excellent AI with 9 different skill levels to suit both novices and experts, up to 4-player hotseat games, and a clean mouse-based interface.

Many options, such as anagram and different scoring options, help novices learn the ropes without being intrusive. Form words to earn big scores and bonuses in this classic word game that is every bit as good as it looks.

If you like the game, be sure to check out the 1994 updated version for Windows called Scrabble for Windows, also on this site.

Physics Counts 30 Nov. 2019

Extremely disappointed in this version. The so-called "random" tile draw gives you one or more of Q Z X J at the start of 9/10 games, and many other errors. It does not know of many common words (eg "access"). The AI is ridiculously slow and seems hell-bent on simply making it impossible for you to move. Oh - and when you change tiles, it puts your tiles back in the mix BEFORE drawing (against the rules)

Growing up played this game on a regular basis. First on the physical board and then on the computer. I can't seem to find a Windows 10 version anywhere. Miss those competitive days of Scrabble until the wee hours of the morning.

reply@jeanht: You might actually think that you could run DOS applications from Windows 8? YOU DON'T!! You can't run old DOS games and apps from further version of Windows! You can use DOSBox to run the game instead for running it directly in Windows.

I would love to be able to download this version of Scrabble. I have it on my desktop and play it on a daily basis but my desktop is about to die and I would like to have it on my laptop instead. I am running Windows 8 and Chrome will not allow me to open and install the download. Can you help?

Obviously never actually taught you to spell though, can't blame it for your grammar.
