Scrabble for victory and enrich your vocabulary thanks to the built-in word definitions!\n6 languages are supported: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Dutch.\n\nTired of stumbling across cheaters or waiting for hours for your online opponent to play in multiplayer games?\nTry out Classic Words for instant fun, no matter if you are a beginner in crossword games or a tournament player!\n\nChoose 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: NWL and SOWPODS.\n\nClassic 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.\nUse all 7 letters from your rack to play a Bingo and get a 50-point bonus.\n\nThis 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. \n\nThanks to the fast reactivity of the artificial intelligence (AI) and to the official word lists, Classic Words can be used by traditional word game enthusiasts to play quick training matches and learn new words from the computer's moves.\n\nUnlike 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.\n\nOnly your tactics and creativity can make the difference...\nWill you play strategically enough to outwit the computer and its extensive vocabulary?\n\nEXCLUSIVE FEATURES:\n- 6 levels of difficulty\n- Automatic display of the definition of the iPhone words\n- Distribution of letters and points are adapted to the language\n- Supports offline play\n\nLanguages and dictionaries supported:\n   - English (SOWPODS 2025 + NWL 2023)\n   - French\n   - German (with support of Umlauts, and Ezset to be replaced by two 'S')\n   - Italian\n   - Spanish\n   - Dutch","facts":{"developer_id":670587293,"developer_url":"http://classicwords.net","first_released":"2013-07-18T01:34:09Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"1.7.0","release_notes":"- New Settings Menu: You can now customize your experience by disabling auto-zoom.
