Scrabble Rack Attack is all about the anagrams. If you enjoy word scrambles, this game could be of some use to you.
What’s it about?
Those who have played regular Scrabble download edition for the PC will notice the familiar look with this one.
Unlike traditional Scrabble, however, in Rack Attack you don’t have any freedom in the words that you are spelling. The goal is to make as many words as you can with one trip to the shaker bag only.
There are three modes in this word venture: 1 Rack, Rounds, and Extreme. Each of these consists of the same slot-filling gameplay, but has different goals.
1 Rack is good for a quick game, while Rounds is more of a challenge in which the number of words you must identify increases each time (tracked courtesy of a meter that spells Scrabble).
Extreme is of course the hardest in that it penalizes a score space for any gibberish guessing that you try to submit.
If this review has sounded kind of boring, it’s because this game is. And this is coming from someone who loves "playing with words" in the writing world.
