At quite a young age, I got introduced to this game which I actually thought was nerdy and school like if I am being honest but it actually turned out to be more than that. One of the interesting games I have had the pleasure of playing for a very long time is the game of forming words. The scrabble game has been one that I have played since my childhood. My father had me playing the scrabble word game with him at an age I do not remember but I think I was still in primary school when we started playing.
The scrabble game is quite easy to play and can become very enjoyable when you play for fun and of course to learn a thing a two. The basic concept behind this is to form words. However, the tricky aspect is that you just do not arrange words randomly on the scrabble board but what you have to do is select letters from your tile of letters you have picked from the bag of letters.
The bag houses all the letters of the board game and to select your letters, the bag is shaken and you pick out 7 at a random. You have to make do with what you have but if you cannot, you exchange the letters and miss a round.

I still have the board game at home but now with technology, phones and advancements, I have to make do with the one on my phone when I am away and I feel like playing. I have gone through a number of scrabble games or applications on my phone. It is very difficult to find one that can give you the feel of the actual physical game. I have found one wordplay scrabble game that gives me similar feelings to the one I used to play with my dad. It is called “classic words”.
Classic words for some reason just give me same vibes to the physical scrabble game. Unlike the physical one, you do not get to dip your hands into a bag but the computer selects letters for you. There are levels where you can decide the difficulty. When you win the easy or normal levels a couple of times or more, you will think you are ready for the extremely difficult level but no, the extremely difficult level can make you want to go back to the normal and easy levels.
The scrabble game is one I can play for hours especially if it with friends.
