I know someone posted about scrabulous.com on here, where you can play Scrabble online for free.

What are your usernames? I'm on at least once a day and I usually hang out in The Lounge or Coffee House.  I'm xnikki118x on there as well. Find me and we'll set up a game!

Facebook Scrabble application hit by legal woes

By Anastasia Erbe
Princetonian Staff Writer

    With the clocks counting down to 5 p.m. on Dean's Date, Rich LeBano '08 sat at his computer unable to find that perfect word. The letters were scrambled together; no word would fit.

    It was not a case of writer's block, but of intense wordplay: a game of Scrabulous, the facebook.com application that is very similar to Scrabble.

    "Scrabulous is fabulous," Nathan Buch '10 said, giving a description many students would echo when speaking of the addictive online game.

    Scrabulous, one of Facebook's most popular applications, draws an average of 600,000 users per day. The game is also available at scrabulous.com.

    But this may not be the case for much longer. Though Scrabulous has become extremely popular, the companies that hold licenses for Scrabble — Hasbro and Mattel — do not share in the profits. The two firms sent a joint letter to Facebook asking the site to remove Scrabulous, claiming that it constitutes a breach of copyright.

    There are other free websites on which people can play Scrabble, such as Yahoo! Games, but these sites have agreements with Hasbro and Mattel. Scrabulous is independent of these companies and claims all profits for itself.

Betapet has a better interface. Scrabulous is kind of clunky.
