Hasbro sent legal notices to the dudes that made it and Facebook had to remove it. |

Scrabulous is disabled for US and Canadian users until further notice.
Poo!! I remember reading a few months ago that the Scrabble folks were not happy about this fake version being on Facebook.
Odd that it's just US and Canada though.
Sorry about that. On the other hand, I feel slightly glad as I have always been losing to the native speakers. :-PP |

LOL. I play Megg quite a lot and though I've beaten here almost every time (I think she has won at least once) I find it quite humbling that a non-native speaker can play a game like this and do very well.
We just started a game on the word scrap or whatever fake Scrabulous is called. |

I didn't know this existed in Facebook!
I won't play anyway. My vocabulary in English is way too limited. I'm going to check if there's a version in Spanish though! |

Sorry! I was really trying to pay you a compliment! I mean often our scores are pretty close. You're very good at it. |

Exactly the same but you can't see the value of the letter on the tile.
