I’m on the Very Hard level and I feel it’s very much weighted in favour of the phone. The phone nearly always starts (No real problem), and always gets more ‘S’s. But what is really unfair is the scoring. If I lose I drop 0.3 (at least), and if I win (even by over 100 points), I only rise by 0.1. This is unreasonably unfair. I was hovering around 74% but despite a couple of good wins am now down at 73.3%. ### 4/5 — I enjoy this app. *2026-08-28, version 1.7.0* It’s interesting to play scrabble with. It just seems I receive far too many letter X, Z, Q without receiving a U. Once in a while? OK. ___Game AI consistently gives me the worst possible letters, while giving itself the best combos and blocks the high value spaces. I only have room to place 1 or 3 letters at a time. POS ### 4/5 — Pretty good/ better than others *2026-08-28, version 1.7.0* Still refuses legit words with not mechanism for a rebuttal which is sad and accepts non words but i win every time so i keep playing ### 3/5 — New full page advertising? *2026-08-28, version 1.7.0* I loved this app for a long time and was okay with ads appearing in the upper portion of the screen as I was playing a given match but just recently this Scrabble app has also added full screen ads at the end of every match played and it's annoying. Many of the ads are :30 seconds long. Too long! ### 3/5 — Wrong game score *2026-08-26, version 1.7.0* Once again I find that I’m being cheated. After the phone played its first word I followed suit and then the phone placed two words on the board when it should have just been one and my turn. Sorry. This is crazy. Lately I have noticed that my score is not correct. I’m bring short changed on my scores. I really like this game but don’t like being cheated. I have noticed that there are some words that are misspelled are given a green light and there is no way to challenge. Once again I have noticed that my words are not being counted in my score. If this continues I will notify Facebook and see that you are removed. This is not fair to me not to anyone else who might be having the same problem. ### 4/5 — fun but flawed *2026-08-26, version 1.7.0* It's fun, since there's no wait for a response. But the iphone doesnt strategically avoid giving you big opportunities to play your words on triple squares to score big points, so it can almost always be beaten badly. ### 5/5 — Classic words *2026-08-26, version 1.7.0* Great little waste of time ### 5/5 — Jeff *2026-08-26, version 1.7.0* I always go to my Scrab when I’m bored …ALWAYS! Love this App ### 5/5 — Scrabble For Just Me *2026-08-25, version 1.7.0* I have enjoyed this word game so much! It’s very educational too! I like how you can find out the meaning of words by the swipe of a finger! ### 5/5 — Words *2026-08-25, version 1.7.0* Love the challenges ### 5/5 — No wait until your next turn *2026-08-24, version 1.7.0* I love playing this and that you can set your own difficulty. This is such a relaxing way to reduce stress and exercise your brain at the same time. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-24, version 1.7.0* Levels challenge you and help you progress. ### 5/5 — Best game ever Classic Words *2026-08-23, version 1.7.0* I play every day, ### 5/5 — raggmopp *2026-08-23, version 1.7.0* this game is so fun, but wonder why the computer sets up the three x word scores for me? ### 5/5 — No ads! *2026-08-23, version 1.7.0* I like this Scrabble game because I beat the computer all the time lol. (I think the computer cheats). Its fun how you can test out words and it'll show you if it's really a word, and you can place your tiles in certain configurations to see which ones gives you the most points. My favorite part is that there are no ads. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2026-08-23, version 1.7.0* At long last a classic Scrabble game. Thank G-d that I have lived to see this day! (The next day): I just beat that (Extremely Hard) sucker again. That’s 2x in two days. This game rocks! ### 5/5 — Better than scrabble! *2026-08-23, version 1.7.0* This has been my go to word game for years. I love it. ### 5/5 — BRILLIANT *2026-08-22, version 1.7.0* I love that I can play anytime I like ### 5/5 — Classic word *2026-08-22, version 1.7.0* Playing for many years, love it to play whenever free. Good fun really.👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wrong game score *2026-08-12, version 1.7.0* Lately I have noticed that my score is not correct.

Also interrupts for playing games of no interest! Will delete immediately. ### 1/5 — The game itself is great, but… *2026-07-28, version 1.7.0* I totally get that ads are how a lot of devs make money, and that’s fine. I have a serious problem, however, when the ads start autoplaying sounds, because I’m often playing the game somewhere quiet. Yes, I could mute my device each time I open this app, but I shouldn’t have to do that. Additionally, sometimes the ads provide no means to close or dismiss them. When this happens, you have no choice but to close the app and reopen it. That’s obnoxious. I have no issue with using ads to generate revenue, but this dev needs to find a better provider for them. ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-07-10, version 1.7.0* Will be deleting this one. Years and years without ads, after paying for no ads, and now this. ### 1/5 — AI *2026-06-30, version 1.7.0* I wish AI was not involved. It would be more realistic ### 1/5 — Cheats like hell *2026-06-27, version 1.7.0* Game Uses words that players are not allowed to use ### 1/5 — Why ads? *2026-06-12, version 1.7.0* I used to have a paid version of “Classic Words,” called “Classic Words Plus.” I paid for the app so as to NOT have ads. Now all I get is an app with ads included, and no way to buy out of them. Why is this? I have removed the app from my device and given a one-star rating until such time as a means to eliminate ads is offered. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-11, version 1.7.0* Suddenly there are awful ads in the middle of play. Used to be my favorite game. Ugh. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous Ads *2026-06-11, version 1.7.0* These big ads with the stupid dog suddenly appearing suddenly in the center of the screen? Why even have the game at all. ### 1/5 — Update causes ads to pop up mid-game *2026-06-11, version 1.7.0* Until last week, this was a great game. Now an update causes random video ads and scam virus warnings to pop up in the middle of each game multiple times. Unplayable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-31, version 1.7.0* If you like Scrabble, this download is a must. I play it constantly! My only suggestion, would be a letter distribution list or count for referencing. ### 5/5 — Classic words *2026-08-29, version 1.7.0* 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-28, version 1.7.0* It’s a great little game which sharpens my brain and keeps me on my toes. Love it ### 5/5 — Classic Words *2026-08-27, version 1.7.0* This is “The” Best Scrabble Game Ever!!! ### 5/5 — Challenging! *2026-08-27, version 1.7.0* I like that you can choose different levels of difficulty. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-27, version 1.7.0* This game keeps me on my toes. It certainly exercises my brain and I like the challenge. I play it at least once a day or more. ### 5/5 — Mrs. P. *2026-08-27, version 1.7.0* Enjoy this game every day ### 5/5 — Brainy *2026-08-27, version 1.7.0* Love this game it keeps my mind active and I love the challenge of trying to beat the other brain. ### 5/5 — Truly a classic! *2026-08-27, version 1.7.0* I’ve had this app for a few years now, and it’s everything the physical board game is, except that it’s much easier because you don’t have to manipulate the tiles. There’s no stupid graphics or flashing things. I’ve checked out numerous Scrabble apps and this puts the others to shame. This is my absolute favorite game app. ### 5/5 — Challenging *2026-08-27, version 1.7.0* You can grow with this game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
