Super Scrabble is Super Fun!Oct 23, 2004
By Gypsie
My boyfriend and I are Scrabble addicts! We play every night. Super Scrabble is so much fun. You have twice as many letters, spaces and scores. The board features 441 spaces vice 225 on the original. There is also the addition of quadruple word and letter spaces. We love it and now our friends as us to bring it over too. If you love Scrabble, you will love Super Scrabble. Warning: Games take twice as long.

 Great new variation, but we need a "deluxe" versionDec 28, 2004
By Traveler
Super Scrabble is such a great idea that it's surprising no one thought of it until now. Twice as many spaces, twice as many letters, bigger words (more educational and more fun), and higher scores.
The one big drawback here is that this game doesn't come as a deluxe version with grid lines and a spinning lazy-susan base. You nudge the board and it's likely the letters will move. The deluxe version (of the original game) is far more user friendly - if you nudge the board the letters don't get all scrambled and those with bad eyesight can easily spin the board in their direction so they can see better.
Still, I highly recommend this game. And to the game makers: Please make a deluxe version!

Stop Sliding TilesApr 04, 2006
By DeDe
In order to improve your Super Scrabble game, spray your board with 3M's ReMount repositionable adhesive. It's like sprayable post-it. Your tiles will never slide about again, but you can pluck them off easily when done. You can get it at any art store.

Just SuperJan 18, 2005
By J. Vilches
Super Scrabble has a bigger board (21x21) and twice the letters of regular Scrabble. Think of the possibilities - two Q's, two Z's! But the letters aren't blindly doubled - the distribution has changed a bit. Throw in the quadruple letter and word squares, and it's a whole new game. If you like Scrabble, this is sure to be a hit.
Keep a regular dictionary close by, as well as the standard Scrabble dictionary. Because of the different letter distribution, there are words possible in Super Scrabble that aren't possible with regular Scrabble. You still keep the same number of tiles (7) on your rack, so you won't really be playing longer words. It takes a little mental rearrangement to get used to looking for the new bonus squares, and a little effort not to overlook the old triple standbys.
The board is spacious enough that it's easier to play long words deep into the game. The bigger board could be a little bit of a pain to twist around if you don't like to look at it upside down - we've been putting it on the lazy-susan on our kitchen table, and that has worked out just fine. But be warned, the bigger board is also easier to bump into, which skews the letters around - the surface seems to be a little slicker than our regular Scrabble board.
The games do last a lot longer - if we start a game in the evening, we almost always have to finish it the next day. So far, it's been easy to more than double our normal Scrabble scores. Highly recommended if you're a Scrabble-addict or just like word-intensive games.

Super Scrabble- twice the ZZs is twice the fun!Jan 05, 2005
By Nirah
Wow- a much bigger board, and twice the letters. They didn't just double the letters- you'll find that they more than doubled the letters S and O, and that they eased up on the letter I (nothing more depressing than getting 4 Is at a time). The big board is very roomy- you'll find it much easier to put down 7 letter words. However, due to the new QUAD letter and Quad WORD spaces, and the fact that there are now 8 easy spots to get a double-double word score, you'll find that that 50 point bonus pales beside the points you can rack up for fairly ordinary words on the new spots. (Example- place 'crazy' so the Z hits one of the quad letters and the word hits a double word, and you get 98 points, 80 from the Z alone).
I've only played twice so far, but I can see the strategy is VERY different with the bigger board and the extra Ss. The game goes a little faster than you'd think (all the 7-letter words eat up the tiles fast, so the game take less than twice as many moves to complete as regular scrabble).
