A whole new way to play an old favorite<\/h2>

Ah,\u00a0Scrabble<\/em>. How many boards have been overturned, how many friendships and game nights have been ruined in your name? Plenty, but it’s still one of the most well-loved board games of all time, with countless different editions, tournaments, and even a few game shows over the years. Turns out there’s even a holiday themed around the word game, aptly named Scrabble Day, which is today, April 13. As part of the festivities, Scopely, Hasbro, and Mattel announced the newest Scrabble<\/em> project \u2014 a new version of the game that you can play right in your web browser, simply called Scrabble.com.<\/a><\/p>

<\/iframe><\/p>

Scrabble.com launches with PvP (either with a friend or online) and PvE modes, as well as other features like Word Tools, which includes access to the official Scrabble<\/em> Dictionary and an anagram solver (having a built-in way to cheat feels a bit weird, but hey, it’s their website, they can do what they want). An official Scrabble<\/em> Blog and Scrabble<\/em> Forum will also be available on the website. Additional modes and features will be added in the future, such as a competitive “Tournament” mode. Scrabble.com is free-to-play in your browser, and players can keep up with the latest news on Scrabble’s official social media @ScrabbleGO on most platforms, and they’re even on Twitch<\/a>.<\/p>

With\u00a0Wordle<\/em> being as successful as it is, I am honestly not surprised in the slightest that\u00a0Scrabble<\/em> is coming for the browser game space. It was a smart move to lean into\u00a0Scrabble<\/em>‘s unique brand, though, rather than going for another Wordle<\/em> copy<\/a>.<\/p>

While browser games used to be where a huge portion of gamers played online, most of that went away after Flash was shut down at the end of 2020. It’s cool to see a resurgence of this kind of online play, especially because it makes games so much more accessible. Scrabble<\/em> has had massive success as a mobile game, as after launch it became the #1 mobile word game in the world, which honestly isn’t surprising to me at all considering how well-loved the brand is.<\/p>

Here’s to hoping that this new website version is a step in a similar direction, because this has the potential to help usher in a whole new era of browser gaming.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":809,"featured_media":316674,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[725,19510,109,21156,20733,20769],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":809,"display_name":"Noelle
