Does anyone play scrabble on Facebook!

I have about 20 games going now along with words with friends which is a little different board set up! I am getting use to my new computer with windows 8 which I like. The web tv systems were done away with in sept never to be used by anyone ever again.

No, but I have the Scrabble game CD that I play often on my computer with several different levels of difficulty. Playing on the highest level is nothing short of a lesson in futility as the computer side will often put up 3-4 seven letter words a game---all for premium score.

I play at the next highest level and win in the 40-50% range against "Maven", the computer opponent.

That's a great one word score and if I recall correctly mine is in the 130 something range, but I've played thousands of games on the computer and can't recall them with any detail.

When playing on the second from top level, or Expert, you generally need to score in the 325+ range every game to win, or have a chance of winning. Now, when going to the Professional level, you better score 400+ just to be in the game.

My wife and I have a lady friend that loves the game and is a fanatic for crossword puzzles, word games, etc. and she gives me a run for my money when we play the board game from time to time. My wife will not play Scrabble with me any more, or any of those Trivia games. Seems I'm a walking book of useless knowledge and tend to do well in those games, or just a pretty good guesser.

I did score over 500 three times this past few months. I like words with friends better!
