WildWords -- It blows away Scrabble! (Click Size Button)

After more than 50 years of bad trays and playing words like "cat" or "rain," there is a much better crossword game than Scrabble (R Hasbro). Hear and see me explain what this is about. And think a...

I adore this game! I'm a pretty serious Scrabbler--not tournament level, but I love the game and take it a mite too seriously. This is a different game entirely. Double and triple words matter, but the real challenge and joy to this game is using all of your tiles. A good player can do this quite often with creative asterisk usage and judicious use of the "tile trade-in" rule. Plus, none of my friends will play Scrabble with me anymore, but they'll try this game. Sometimes they even win!

I recently played my first game where I used all seven tiles every play. Mind you, there might have been other games where that was possible but sometimes a short play is better in terms of points and strategy.

The scores for the plays ranged from around 36 (getting two turn-to-wilds but also hitting the lose-20 square) which is a fairly crummy score to 130+ hitting both the triple and double word squares with a decent letter on the triple letter.

My favorite played word was CINEMATOGRAPHY.

I think people assume the path from invention to production to distribution to "in your store" is rather straightforward. It's not.

Distributors will not touch a game which is not in demand. The same is true for big chains. You can get independent stores, but they tend to see themselves as doing a favor just to give shelf space and regard paying as unimportant.

Thus, I have switched to just selling the game on my site. I know buyers have bought understanding what WW is and that is what I need.

That looks like fun!! My friends and I play scrabble often, sometimes once a day during our 2 hour break between studio classes; it'd be great to have a new game to play that focuses on big words and not on who knows all the dumb 2 and 3 letter words that nobody uses... makes me feel like an ass for pulling them out with people who don't play often. And for once, a lone C or a V won't deaden an entire area of the board!

I return the challenge to you then; learn to play WildWords properly! When you play WW "properly" by Scrabble's definition, of course you won't like it! Why are Scrabble-enthusiasts so resistant to any other crossword game anyway? It's kind of bizarre... Loyalty to an old friend is great and all, but can't you make new friends, too!????

Love to see a Clabbers version of this, you'd be playing all your tiles each turn. :-) What's the scoring system like?

Word was "discombobulating."

Scoring system is similar to Scrabble (bonus squares) with a 40 point bonus for using all seven tiles (instead of 50).

However, that bonus will be obtained by good players perhaps six times or so during a game (two person game).
