Video Manual: How to Use the Classic Words (solo word game) App

How does it Work?

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

    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!

    Happy Woman!

    I love your version of Scrabble! I had been playing ScrabbleGo and not enjoying the game because of all the interruptions! Then there were issues with scores. A player had 2,6000,000 points in on tournament, I got out my calculator and did the numbers, no way could this player amass that many points according to her stats. I did inquire about it with the site and they did not seem to care. I deleted the app and was sad that I would not be playing the game. I went online and found your app! I am in a happy place again! No complaints from me! This game keeps my mind occupied during these crazy times! Hope all are staying safe! Susan Borodemos Update.. I think this game is what is keeping me sane during this time in the world! I enjoy playing against my iPad! My iPad is my best friend these days! I haven’t seen another human in months besides my husband and he might say three words to me every few days. I do not have one complaint! Only a huge Thank You! Susan Borodemos Today is the day that the new bill for COVID-19 relief passed! Your game has probably saved my life! I coming up to my 7000th game! I love playing time game! It keeps my mind sharp and stops me from dwelling on what is going on in these crazy times I pray that our country will heal soon!

    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!! 😉

    Please do a for-pay version without the ads

    This is my favorite scrabble-like game ever, and it is free, and I play it all the time. Once you have a game started, the playing experience is quite good — way better than anything else I’ve played. How could I not give it 5 stars? But I would happily pay a one-time fee of $20 or an annual fee of $5 for a version of the game where no ads display and I can exit at any point. ****** Notes to the developer: Thank you for this truly excellent word game implementation. I understand that to provide this free, there have to be ads for you to get paid. That’s more than fair and I totally support it for a free version. There are small visual tweaks that would improve the game. When the iPad plays, consider providing a little transition effect on the characters added to draw the eye to them — let the effect stay for a second or so. Make the double and triple squares easier to spot. Also, please automatically display a definition for words the user plays. I often know that’s word is “legal” but not what it means. The definitions are my favorite feature; they make your game stand out. Great job!

    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!

    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.

    Enjoyable game but could stand some improvements

    I like this app because it has the same points layout as the original Scrabble game, unlike some of the other popular ones out there. I also like that it shows the points before you play the word. I just wish that I could play with a friend in the room, handing it back and forth. Also, some of the features, Like seeing what letters are left, do not work on my iPad. Overall, I enjoy playing this game a lot but it is better on my phone than on my iPad and it could stand some improvement.

    Tribute to this Scrabble app, with 2 suggestions for improvement.

    This scrabble app has kept me sane through an amazingly dark and damaged moment of my life that included the death of a child.. Since that time, much of my life has been spent alone in a hotel room. I have had this app for a year and have played over 2000 games. My only suggestion for an improvement would be to at least allow the matching of any dictionary chosen to be used by both the player and the opponent. I feel an unfair advantage by being able use words like qi, or any of the other selection. The "opponent" seems to use the U.S./Thai dictionary for word choice, and I use the European dictionary. Also, I always play at the highest level My percentage of wins is < 91%. It would seem to me that the opponent at that level should average a score of at least 400 points. The average for the opponent seems to be closer to 300, to 350.

    Pretty good game

    I love this game and it’s very stress relieving and very fun. The only problem I have with it is that I have to play with the iPhone all the time. I know that to do a multiplayer game you have to switch the phone back and forth but mine isn’t like that you can only play against the iPhone but not with other people. I don’t know if it’s because I have an iPhone but my mom also has this app and it works for her but she also have a galaxy s8 so maybe it’s just with the iPhone. But minus that problem I love this game.

    Great game

    I never played Scrabble growing up so when I saw this offered on my iPhone, I decided to try it. I am so happy I did! I started on the easiest level and slowly worked myself up to the hard level. I’m not doing very well on the hard level, but I won’t give up. I play as often as I can — usually every day. I have a suggestion, please. When the iPhone or iPad is playing, it would be helpful if its letters were in a different color or font — something to differentiate between the two players. Also, it’s not fair/easy when the Player has only vowels to play. I don’t know how to fix that, but it would be nice. Thank you for listening to me!

    Trouble spot

    I would have given this game a 5 star rating, but recently I’ve encountered a problem toward the end of the game. What occurs is: I place the tiles to make a word and when I attempt to play the word I get an error message stating the word must be connected and in a line. The words are legal and correctly spelled as well as placed correctly. I don’t know what is causing this problem, nor how to fix it. I’ve been enjoying this game and have played it successfully, however I don’t enjoy having to quit at the end of a game because of a glitch. Can this be fixed?

    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.

    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.

    Dicey word use and clearly an NRA/2A groupie

    I had grown suspicious about the dictionary loaded with the app, as I make a good living writing, and was continually looking up words I "created." Why does it include so many obscure, foreign words, like nicknames for items, the letters of alphabets *as words*, and odd abbreviations for short words? I have doubts about the inclusion or even the authenticity of some words. Nevertheless, I played, as it was...fine. I ultimately abandoned it though, as I saw a pattern of inserting anti-Biden ads in the cycle. They were always of the extremist and false variety, very much poking the uneducated with a stick to get people fired up. In checking the final one, it included false rants about "taking your guns" and led to a questionnaire from the NRA, with Wayne LaPierre on the page. 🤮🤮🤮 We are so done here.
