Entertaining Book

I enjoy playing Scrabble, but it's hard to find someone to play with. This book is a good alternative to playing a full game with a friend. It gives you several racks of letters and you try to make the highest scoring word possible. It's a good challenge and great for road trips.

scrabble fun minus the board.

Good book. Puzzles are enjoyable and doable. If you can't scrounge a scrabble partner this will get you a scrabble fix.

For Scrabble Fans

Good practice. Use post-its & you can use it over & over.

Review of Scrabblegrams

This book contains many more Scrabblegrams and for anyone who enjoys this type of Scrabble play the games are excellent. I only hope that they put out a book called "Another Big Book of Scrabblegrams"!

From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com

A ScrabbleGram is a simple word puzzle which gives you a "rack" of seven letters. Your job? To find the longest word playable on the rack. Often the best words are 7-letter words, but sometimes the longest ones are only 5 or 6 letters long. These puzzles are a great way to practice your Scrabble rack strategy and "anagramming". They're also a really nice twist on puzzles (fans of Crosswords, Sudoku and especially Jumble will definitely enjoy these as a nice change). I found that doing a couple of the puzzles before playing a Scrabble game was surprisingly helpful, it made for a great warmup. I've found most travel editions of Scrabble to be somewhat unwieldy, they seldom lie flat and the little letters often get lost, so I've long since given up on travel Scrabble, but these puzzles are a great way for me to enjoy my favorite game even when I can't play a full-length version of it. Wonderful! I'm really hoping these catch on and a whole line of the books become available, because I'm nearly done with mine and I'll want more soon!
