I miss Scrabulous →[More:]I found another game site, where I can play it online but it's not the same. Do you think there's any chance it will come back? And I was absolutely red-hot in a couple of games I had going which are now gone forever.

I doubt Scrabulous as such has much future. Hasbro owns the North American rights to Scrabble, Mattel owns the rights for the rest of the world, and Scrabulous was a clear violation of those rights. Unless Mattel buys scrabulous.com (India), I doubt that that source for the game has much of a future either.

Wordscraper is the new Scrabulous application by the same guys, albeit under a different name.

Wordscraper bites Super Scrabble in almost exactly the same way that Scrabulous bit Scrabble. I'll be interested to see what happens.

But I can't play anyone in North America.

Hands-down, the best headline about the Scrabulous/Facebook story:

Scrabulous fans left lost for words

Give that headline writer a lolly!
