Julie Bean's Board Builder - What I like to call a "blissful diversion". Tile-tracking sheets - A printout of nine little tile trackers. Lorrainefeather.com - Lyricist and jazz singer whose new album, "Ages" contains a song about (and entitled) "Scrabble". You can find the lyrics (imagine working OXAZEPAM into a song) here. You can download this song (in MP3 format) for free here. Note: The following information is for those who have purchased older CD-Rom versions of Hasbro's Scrabble games. You can now find an updated version (free demo) called "SCRABBLE Tour" at Pogo. SCRABBLE Tour is in the "casual game" style and offers both solo and story play modes. This new version uses the most recent dictionary (OSPD4) as its word list. As an alternative, you can use the freeware program Quackle to play, simulate, and analyze games. Custom dictionaries (words only, no definitions, complete and updated to reflect the most recent changes for 2007) for the Hasbro CD games: Note: It is always a good idea to make backups of your original files before copying. Download dictionary for Version 1 (blue CD). Install game; unzip WORDLIST.DAW; copy file to the game's root folder, default installation ...\Scrabble\. Will allow you to play against Maven from the full, uncensored list, but will not define words from the new list. Download dictionary for Version 2 (red CD). Install game; unzip NALIST.DAW; copy file to the game's default folder ...\Hasbro Interactive\Scrabble v2.0\MavenNA\. You may need to remove a "read only" attribute on the original NALIST.DAW file in order for the copy to be successful. Will let you play against Maven from the full, uncensored list, but will not define words from the new list. Though I haven't been able to test it yet; this will probably also work with Hasbro's Scrabble Complete game. Might be under a different file name.
