Our Expert Score

87/100

Scrabble GO is a vibrant, modern update to the world's most famous word game. It successfully brings the classic Scrabble board into the 21st century with snappy animations, social features, and a variety of new game modes that go beyond the traditional 1-on-1 matches. The 'Classic' mode is exactly what you expect—the official board, the official dictionary, and the pure strategy of high-scoring words.

However, it's the 'GO' part that adds the flavor. Modes like 'Duels' (fast-paced Scrabble) and 'Word Drop' provide quick-hit gameplay for when you don't have time for a full match. The inclusion of 'Boosts' is a controversial addition for purists, but they are generally well-balanced and add a layer of tactical flexibility. The ability to customize your tiles and showcase your achievements makes the game feel personal and rewarding.

A fun experience absolutely ruined by greed
Sun Aug 04 2024 EldrWitch

I initially thought this app was a lot of fun, and the additional word games and experience on a digital platform was great. Once you break level 5, ads become enabled… This wouldn’t be a big deal if it was just an ad between each completed game or something reasonable. It’s practically every turn (when it’s not every turn, it’s every 2 turns). It disrupts your thought process and ruins the game. It is quite literally faster to make your move, close the app, and relaunch it!! To add insult to injury, ads also get embedded in the header and footer anywhere they can stick them in the app, and occasionally ads have ads in them. I would be shocked if this wasn’t against the Apple ToS, and I’m planning to look into this. Most apps promise to shut off apps if you make a purchase with real-world currency. Not here, though. You have to subscribe to their monthly service perpetually and if you want to just buy the no-ads experience? $1 for 5 minutes of peace and quiet. That will get you… one turn. This is simply the most revolting case of shovelware ever, and if you’re interested in playing digital scrabble? Look somewhere else. Even if the other options are worse, this company is so big that it doesn’t deserve your money.

Better match matching
Sun Dec 18 2022 Sonic4Amy

I would give you guys five stars. But it's the matchmaking that irritates me the most; I'm sick and tired of it recommending players to play against when they're not even online to play. The first time I was in a tournament (which was recommended by the computer by the way), I made the first move, and the person I was paired with didn't play for three days, so I forfeited the match. Then I traded a second time, and the person the computer matched me up at least made the first move before disappearing for two days. so far this has happened four times so that’s four matches I had to forfeit from before someone telling me that if the person doesn’t play don’t forfeit the computer will automatically make them the loser depending on who has the highest or lowest score… if this is why the truth why did I sit there for three days I had a way higher score than the other person you guys need to add a sleep or away button or something. To be honest, I don’t care for board games. I hate them. I don’t have the patience for them, and these people are a clear example of why I don’t play with others online and would rather play solo matches or against the computer. Please fix this if you can add a status light or something showing that the person is actually playing in real time or something.

Good, but crazy with ads
Tue Aug 13 2024 eatshands

I got this game during COVID so I could continue to keep in touch with family members and play fun interactive games that also kept my brain engaged, and this game is good for that. In general, I understand that ads help to keep a game running if you don’t have to pay for anything before downloading the app itself, but the frequency of each ad in this app is absurd. You can’t go one turn without being forced to sit through a 10 second ad (at least), and often, the game gives so many ads that the app itself freezes and you have to close the app completely in order to get back to where you were. The only reason I still have it downloaded is because my family members enjoy playing with me because we don’t see each other as often as we’d like. If it was up to me, I’d delete it now. I’m sick of it. *Another thing to note: this is true of most apps out there, but there are bots who try to steal your information on this app. There’s a feature where you can send messages to your opponent — which is meant for game history and polite trash talk — and a lot of the fake players will ask you for your name and socials. Do not respond to any of those messages. I shouldn’t have to say that but it’s just a reminder; it’s untrustworthy and easy to fall for.

Problems During Prize Giving
Wed May 26 2021 hezmyjoy

I picked this app up because on FB, there was a lull with making the updates. I noticed with this app on my tablet, there isn’t a problem when rejecting the prize to go to the next game and to avoid the ads. But when you decide to accept the prize, all of a sudden there is a pop up declaring that something is wrong with the system. Ok, but what is the alternative? Will I get a chance later? Is there a cancellation prize for the inconvenience? Nope. You have to forfeit the prize. Isn’t it funny, nothing is wrong with the system when the same ads come on over and over and over again between games? To the creators, if you are interested in making the game less annoying: when playing the mini word games within (like the trophy game and bayou), the player should have a choice whether to use all of his/her tickets or not. The player shouldn’t be forced to spend his/her coins if there is a ticket left. Did you really design the game to see if you could control one’s spending? I did notice that when I used my tickets and had 101 coins to start off, at the end of playing 4 games and spending 5 coins per continuance, I saw I had 72 coins left. How? That would mean 29 coins were spent. That not even divisible of 5. That would mean I played 5 games and your game stole an extra 4 coins. Wow!

This game is bad and not for children
Sat Nov 28 2020 Jud1958

Beside the fact that the algorithm used in this game is faulty and can give you all vowels over and over and over, the interface is so distracting that it is difficult to play the game. Even when I switched to classic play, I still get ads some of which are almost x-rated. I often get match requests which I decline, but I do not want some stranger reaching out to me. There is no way to turn this off. All of the requests are from men, which makes me suspicious that these are pedophiles out looking for a pick up. And sure enough, I read many reviews that have experienced someone trying to pick them up. I am ashamed and disgusted with Hasbro for not taking more care to produce and maintain a game that is more in line with the real thing. I want to only use Words with Friends, but my sister likes to play this game and she is the only one I play this with. I would pay for a game to give me a the ability to play clean without any interference and distractions, and from the reviews, it seems like other scrabble lovers feel the same way. There is just NO WAY that this game could possible have a rating higher than 4 when you see all of the low ratings. I’ve even tried to report this game to Apple but there is no button to do that for some reason. *update - my sister finally consented to give up playing on this app after many games of deal after deal of all vowels or all consonants. PS- I thought I posted this on Thursday or Friday, but still don’t see this review in the App Store.

Want to be frustrated? Get this game!
Mon Mar 17 2025 Lila.Lynn

There are SO many ads. After every turn there’s an ad. You win a prize? Yay an ad. You get a charm that makes it ad free? Great, but you have to watch one first to activate it. But that’s not all that’s wrong with this app. Doing adventures, duels, and challenges to win cool tiles is pointless. You don’t get to choose the tile when you earn enough coins. You get a random one from the 3 preselected options. If you get a duplicate, instead of just giving you the one you don’t already have, they give you scrabble coins. Which in theory would make up for that. However, it’s just a way to shove 3 hideous tile options at you, forcing you to pick between horrible, awful, and worse. This game is also full of bugs. There’s a lot of glitches and I’m sure it’s due to the million ads that are continually running in the background. Not to mention the pop ups for other things in the app. If this app is supposed to be full of other fun games beyond scrabble, it seriously needs work. The basic scrabble is just fine. All of the other stuff is terrible and sloppy. But even if you just want to play basic scrabble with your friends, this isn’t a great place to be because the app is constantly bombarding you with information about random stuff that you’re earning and that you can win. Anyway, I don’t recommend this game at all unless you want to be frustrated.

There is no app for Scrabble players
Tue Jun 09 2020 Krogerfoot

Scrabble is a simple game and does not require all the ridiculous frills that Hasbro has decided to lard onto this app. The game is now even more difficult to enjoy than the previous EA Scrabble app, which was absolutely terrible. Of course the reason for the dumb frippery and cartoons that impede gameplay on this app is monetize it, which is an odd approach to take with one of the most successful board games in history. I bought the previous app for $10 to get rid of the ads, which, fine, that’s what one does nowadays. I used it for years, so all in all it was ten bucks well spent, but the deal now for Hasbro’s loyal customers is $4.99 PER MONTH, or put up with the stupidest ads in the world interrupting gameplay every other move, ads that blast music and use deceptive links to trick you into clicking through to some idiotic site. That’s how little Hasbro thinks of its customers — the company takes money from charlatans and lets them try to fleece us. If you’re a fan of Scrabble, you will hate this app, but it’s the only way to play the game online. You will probably eventually decide to fork over 60 bucks a year just to make playing the game a little less unbearable, with little hope that the company won’t then take what you’ve paid for, lock half the features and then make you pay for it again. Why wouldn’t they? Hasbro doesn’t care about Scrabble and they see Scrabble players as marks to squeeze money out of. But you have no choice if you want to play Scrabble online.

Why even call it Scrabble. What an abomination.
Wed Dec 16 2020 bpamagic

15 minutes. That’s all it took. 15 minutes before I realized some underage gamer had destroyed what was one of the best games ever invented - so I deleted it. I’m not a prude. I’m not technically challenged. I see younger generations struggling every day with attention span issues. I get it. But not everybody needs bells and whistles and jewels and God knows what else is imbedded in the Scrabble Go app to be entertained. If it’s about money then charge me more for the app, but to destroy a simple quality intellectual game like Scrabble and turn it into a moronic video game is asinine. You clearly could have included an option for people to choose the classic version - which, if it is available, I was unable, well unwilling, to wade through the nonsense to find it. That would have met everybody’s needs. We’re getting far enough along in the technology craze that not every computer geek or technology buff or game player is a 15 year old kid with the attention span of a goldfish. And the need to pander to said demographic while ignoring others may be at the detriment of your company. Consider there are actually older people -with money - who enjoy technology, that you may want to address in your product development and marketing efforts. If you’re designing a new game - no problem. But to destroy such a classic for no apparent reason is just ridiculous. I’m only giving one star because I have to in order to send my review.
