Over the years, Scrabble has been one of the more popular board games for people of all ages. Now you can take your favorite classic Hasbro word game anywhere you go, thanks to the Scrabble iPhone app released by Electronic Arts.

Electronic Arts has been in business since 1982. Since that time, the company, commonly known as EA, has developed many popular games for various gaming consoles, personal computers, wireless devices, and the Internet. EA is headquartered in Redwood City, CA and has grown to the point that it employed over 9000 people worldwide in the year 2008. Today, EA is perhaps best known for its sports and action based video games, including the Madden NFL series and the Need for Speed games. The popularity of EA’s iPhone apps, such as the Scrabble one, cannot be ignored, however.

Since its release on July 9, 2008, the Scrabble iPhone app has sold very well in the iTunes store as well as on Gamestop’s website. In fact, the Scrabble iPhone app is ranked in the top 1300 of over 9600 iPhone and iPod game apps available through Gamestop.

Basic game play is the same as the board game, and the Scrabble iPhone app has many positive points. Users are very pleased with the options for solo play, including the fact that the CPU you play against is actually a challenging opponent and not one that is impossible to beat or far too easily defeated. You can also play alone without a computer opponent. Multiplayer options include pass and play for playing with friends in person, multiplayer Wi-Fi for online play, and even a Facebook app. The clear graphics and ease of play with the Scrabble iPhone app are also praised by users. The low cost of this app only adds to its appeal.

If you enjoy the classic board game of Scrabble, you will definitely love the Scrabble iPhone app. You will be able to enjoy your favorite game and expand your vocabulary everywhere you go. EA has certainly scored a home run with the Scrabble iPhone app, and this app is a must for even the occasional Scrabble player.
