## What is Scribo?

Scribo is the latest word-spelling game that adds some devilishly addictive twists to this all popular genre!

2 friends compete with the same set of 19 random letters with only 48 seconds to spell as many words as they can! Now rinse and repeat over 3 frantic rounds of word-blindness, hair-pulling mayhem and you have the most addictive word game on the block.

Need a line of defence or feeling particularly evil? No problem! 10 individually crafted Trump Cards will do just the job. Cheating? Maybe. Fun? Hell yes!!!

You can play with as many friends as you like or even challenge a complete stranger - the choice is yours.

One more thing... On Sundays only, the door opens for a special challenge called 'Scribo Sunday' where you have just 12 seconds to spell the highest scoring word you can. You share the score and we'll give you your score value in coins to spend in game!

Thanks for playing!

### 1/5 — Can’t even play the game

*2020-01-21*

Can’t get past the login screen. I never created an account but it kept saying I had. Then it wouldn't allow me to change my password. Oh well.....DELETE!

### 5/5 — Fun, fast and furious

*2016-07-13, version 1.0.3*

The game can seem overwhelming at the start, but once you get the premise, you'll be hooked.

There are lots of options to make gamely more interesting (as if it isn't interesting enough already). You can send preset messages to your opponent (I can see why there is no option to write your own! – good choice Gareth and Neil) to taunt, or congratulate them.

As you play, you earn experience points which will allow the app to pair you with someone at a similar skill level.

I need to spread the word about Scribo more, so that there are more players available.

Keep up the great work. I love this game, and your other apps too!

### 5/5 — Addictive little game ....

*2016-05-21, version 1.0.2*

Quick and addictive game you can play with your friends.

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2016-04-10, version 1.0.1*

Adictive, intense and challenging.
