I just read about this freeware game of Scrabble, called XWords.

http://xwords.sourceforge.net/cemainbrd.php

I tried it, and it is pretty impressive. And the game executable is tiny. There are multiple levels of dictionaries to choose from, in many different languages. The dictionaries vary from as little as 4k up to 500k. The game itself is only 105k. You can even build your own dictionaries to use with the game.

Very nice for a freeware game !!! :D

There is a new release of XWords, which fixes issues some users reported which prevented them from using it on their WM2003 devices. :)

Anyone who had problems with XWords to work, see this thread:

I'm quite surprised nobody responded to this game ??? :?

I wasn't even a previous fan of Scrabble ... and I now play this game practically every day !!! :mrgreen:

I have around 50 games on my PPC, and I would rate XWords in the top 5!!!

It is really THAT GOOD !!! :)

There's also another freeware scrabble program called ScrabblCE. It's worth checking out (http://www.zanchetta.net/pocketpc/default.aspx?page=srabblce.htm). :)

Darius,
I just downloaded the scrabbleCE zipped file. I have unzipped it on my PC and now can you please tell me how to install it? As you know the site is in french and I do not read french. Where do I put these files?

Thanks for your help.
