About

Simple Scoring for Scrabble

Features
Read full description

Simple Scoring for Scrabble is a fast, private score sheet for 2–4 player tabletop word games. Enter scores in one action, record passes and tile exchanges, correct earlier turns, undo or redo, apply end-game rack adjustments, and resume safely after an interruption. Games, names, groups, and long-term records are stored locally on your device. Free features include unlimited normal scoring, timers from 15 seconds through 15 minutes, match history, saved players and groups, same-device Table View, manual backup/restore, and Is This a Word? Word Check. Word Check requires the internet and is a general dictionary reference, not an official tournament lexicon. A timer reaching zero alerts you; it does not automatically pass a turn. Friends can join a host's Live Table for free using a short code or QR code and follow the read-only score, current turn, and turn history on their own phones. Open a lobby before the game and players join from their own phones: each one appears on the host's list with their own name and color, no typing needed. Temporary Live Table rooms require the internet. Normal host scoring continues offline if the connection drops. Simple Scoring Plus — $2.99 once, no subscription — removes ads forever on the purchaser's devices, unlocks Live Table hosting (try your first hosted game free), exports full score sheets as PDF, long image, text, or CSV, and keeps private group, game-night, and season records. Anyone can join a Live Table for free; each spectator's ads and Plus benefits depend on that person's own store entitlement. Simple Scoring is an independent scorekeeping utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the owners of any tabletop word-game trademark.
