Sowpods Scrabble Tips

Scrabulous is back on Facebook, with a new name, new rules and circular tiles that could help its makers skirt legal claims from the owners of Scrabble. Two days ago the creators of Scrabulous blocked their popular version of the word game from U.S. and Canadian users of Facebook. The Indian brothers behind Scrabulous were sued in federal court by Hasbro Inc., the owner of Scrabble's North American rights. Now, the game has reappeared with the name Wordscraper. The change could help it avoid any brand confusion with Scrabble, a key point in trademark disputes. The game itself has also changed. Instead of Scrabble-like square tiles, for instance, Wordscraper has circles. The tiles earning double and triple points have been rearranged, and tiles for quadruple points have been added.
