scrabble

[hungus]

just asking if there are any scrabble type games that can be played online on android but also across platforms to iphone too.

 

[OFI]

Not yet.

WordFeud is the most popular. But it's not cross platform.

The iPhone one 'Words with Friends' or whatever it's called is coming to Android soon but last I heard it hadn't been mentioned for cross platform gaming.

On a slightly different note, anyone know how to download EA Scrabble in the UK as its not on the UK website and the USA site will only SMS a link to USA phones

DIAGONALLY is allowed, but not DIAGON ALLEY.

Let's say you get your tiles and you can spell "VALLEY". Is it legal to play "ALLEY" your first turn and then add the "V" your second turn? Assuming no double word score squares or anything, you would end up with 20 points over 2 turns instead of 12 in 1 turn. Would it really be worth it (obviously in this example it's not a very high-scoring word, but you get the idea)?

Yes, it's a perfectly legal scrabble move. Of course it assumes that nobody else makes a move in the meanwhile that prevents you doing this on your next turn (either places their own V or else puts another word down that doesn't leave you space to add the V). And whether the extra 8 points would be worth it would depend on what else you could have done instead (which you won't know until you draw those extra 5 files).
