User Reviews for Classic Words (solo word game)

2 Suggestions (please, please!)

These 2 suggestions derive from my previous praise for Classic Words as a tool to prepare for live, tournament- style Scrabble: while that is true, two features lacking in CW seriously diminish its resemblance to Scrabble and I would LOVE it if you added these features as OPTIONS. (1) NO SECOND CHANCES — the iPhone/iPad would recognize but not reveal to me any non-word I play and I would lose that turn. (2) TIMED PLAY — perhaps with selectable times (30 seconds to 5 minutes??) Having beaten CW’s Very Hard and Extremely Hard levels over 80% of the time, I came to see that most of those wins would likely not have occurred against a strong Scrabble opponent, since I would not have enjoyed unlimited time to experiment with possible words! Many CW users, of course, would have no interest in these features, but I suspect many would love the challenge. Please consider.

Sanity-saver during pandemic!

I find most games I can get on my phone to be rather mindless. And because of the coronavirus, I don’t feel safe getting together with friends to play Scrabble or GO. When I found this online version of Scrabble, I was ecstatic! It’s great to be able to play my favorite game even during this pandemic. Thanks for the fun!BTW, I am an amateur and do NOT want you to install mandatory time limits for turns, as some reviewers have suggested. I understand their interest in such a feature but it would vastly decrease my pleasure in the game. If you should decide to program a time clock, please make it optional.

Almost real Scrabble

A good fast game with no ads. Includes a definition after each word is played which helps you learn. Limitations include no American dictionary so you get away with British, Scottish,proper nouns,slang etc that perhaps should not count; no ability to see when the computer has less than 7 letters left; the computer does not always do its best even when you choose the most difficult level; the computer does not play strategically so you get more access to the triple corners than normal. It would be nice to add a feature that shows what the best possible choice would have been with the letters both sides have at any time.

Classic Words gets 5 stars from me!

I prefer solo games against the computer like Classic Words for expediency reasons, so this one has gone directly into the "favorite games" folder on my iPhone! The interface is easy to use and the processing is fast. There is no game clock or time limit, so I can take as long as I want to place my tiles. So far my only criticism is that there are no clear labeled "save" or "resume" buttons when you leave a game and want to come back to it. I thought my unfinished game was lost until I clicked "new game"; it took me right back to the one I had left the night before. Good function, but slight lack of clarity with instruction. Very enjoyable game for the casual solo player who doesn't want a "social" game. Two thumbs up!! 😉

Great Replacement for Original Scrabble

When the new developers completely messed up the original Scrabble and took away the version I had paid for, I needed to find a replacement. Classic Words fits the bill for me! It’s easy to play and I love that you know immediately that your word is an actual word. I would like to be able to see the letters that are left but that’s not a big deal. I like playing against the computer. It does have ads but they are not that intrusive and disappear quickly when you X out of them. I do wish they would make a paid version to get rid of the ads. Meanwhile, thanks Classic Words!

Fun and Free!

I enjoy Classic Words for many reasons, but mostly because the turns are NOT interrupted by ads. With other similar free word games, ads play after every few turns. With this app, unobtrusive ad banners appear near the top, and ads only play after each game ends. Another feature I like is the ability to highlight a word that been played and see the definition. I also like how the computer player does not make incredibly obscure words, at least not at the Normal level, and makes its words quickly, so you don’t get bored waiting for the computer’s turn. With other word games, the computer makes words most people have never heard of, or plays very slowly, which is no fun to play against. Another great feature is the ability to easily shuffle your tray of letters with the touch of one button, or you can rearrange the tiles manually. The app keeps track of a few statistics for you, such as win/loss and best word. Classic Words is challenging and fun to play, and as someone with a degree in English, I can recommended this app to anyone who likes playing word games.

Is this game rigged?

I love word games. Glad I found this one. I’ve noticed that the first 3 levels are easier to win because the game is set up to allow you to take advantage of the double and triple word scoring. I really felt like a champ. But found that I got bored with those easier levels. Decided I needed a challenge and went up to higher levels. I noticed that the higher levels are set up differently. The lower levels gives you chances to take advantage of the higher scoring. The higher levels give the computer the advantage of the higher scoring squares. I get more vowels and find word making less easy. (Obviously) I’m usually pretty good at these games but the conclusion I have made is that the game may be slightly rigged in favor of the computer. Maybe I’m not as good as I thought. I will keep working on this idea and keep playing.

Scrabble review

I learns to play scrabble as a kid, I’ve been able to spell rather well. But the game itself has been medicinal for me over the years. I’m an older gentleman and I’ve really have had this game as a part of my life for almost 50 years. And NOW I can hold it in my hand! Really impressed more so because I’m still marveling with the advances of technology. But this app is really appreciated. I like this app because whoever did this, did it with me in mind! Plus I really do know a lot of people that play Scrabble and if I did I’d actually enjoy pulling out the board & dictionary. But this app allows me to play at a level that suits me perfectly. I play all the time. In the car, waiting at the drugstore, anytime I travel and winding down from the day. I’ve been playing on my phone now for about 7-8 years. And I’d just simply like to thank U again!

BETTER ON THE DROID

This was my favorite game on my Droid . When I switched to an iPhone, it was the first game I downloaded. I was disappointed in the lack of features. When playing a word on my Droid I was given the definition to both my word as well as the computers. Sometimes I would throw letters together and found out they worked. It was nice to see the definition and learn a new word. I could also swipe a word at anytime during the game and get the definition. My biggest frustration when I play this version is I no longer have the option to stop the screen from zooming in. With the Droid I took care of it in my settings. Since the iPhone version doesn’t have this option, in order to zoom out I have to constantly have to double tap the screen. Hopefully the iPhone’s version can catch up with the Droids.

Classic Words

The best scrabble on line, bar none. For many of the same reasons as in other reviews. But, primarily because there are very few ads. Like a banner on top and full page ad at the end and beginning of each game. I know everything can’t be perfect, but the little google banner ads weren’t there at first. Then they were. Still harmless. And then they started that frenetic flashing which is death for concentration. So I’m thinking it’s only a matter of time before more ads begin creeping in. After giving up all scrabble games on line because of endless greed, I found this killer app and I love it. But. I’m still holding my breath.The freaking banner add is stuck on the flashing casino jackpot twirling flashing thingy.Truly annoying.

Description

Classic Words is the best word game to play against your iPhone or iPad (solitaire mode). Scrabble for victory and enrich your vocabulary thanks to the built-in word definitions! 6 languages are supported: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Dutch. Tired of stumbling across cheaters or waiting for hours for your online opponent to play on multiplayer games?

Try out Classic Words for instant fun, no matter if you are a beginner in crossword games or a tournament player! Choose the difficulty level (from beginner to expert), pick a word list, and use your strategy skills and vocabulary to try and defeat the iPhone. The English word lists included in the game are inspired by the official lists used in Scrabble tournaments: TWL and SOWPODS. Classic Words gameplay is classical to crosswords board games: create and place words on the board and boost your score by placing letters on the high scoring Double Letter, Double Word, Triple Letter and Triple Word squares. Use all 7 letters from your rack to play a Bingo and get a 50 points bonus. This game is a great time killer for all fans of board games and strategy games. It is also an educational game that will allow kids (and adults :-) ) to improve their spelling and vocabulary. Thanks to the fast reactivity of the artificial intelligence (AI) and to the official word lists, Classic Words can be used by the traditional word game enthusiasts to play quick training matches and learn new words from the computer's moves. Unlike with multiplayer board games where some dishonest players use anagram solvers, there is no cheating possible when playing in solitaire... Letters and blanks are always picked randomly, and the computer's artificial intelligence does not have more information than you do. Only your tactics and creativity can make the difference... Will you play strategically enough to outwit the computer and its extensive vocabulary? EXCLUSIVE FEATURES: - 6 levels of difficulty - Automatic display of the definition of the iPhone words - Distribution of letters and points are adapted to the language - Supports offline play Languages and dictionaries supported: - English (SOWPODS 2012 + TWL06) - German (with support of Umlauts, and Ezset to be replaced by two 'S') - French (based on the official Scrabble word list) - Italian - Spanish (DRAE) - Dutch
