Scrabble on steroids

I like to play scrabble, but I always end up with relatively short words and so not a lot of points. I take my time trying to create words, but always seem to end up with just a bunch of vowels.

DeepLeap has created a fast pasted Scrabble [don't] wannabe game to help you practice your Scrabble skills and exercise your brain. Avoiding the mess created by the whole "Scrabble on Facebook" fiasco, this game presents up to 9 tiles one at a time, and asks you to make words out of them before your virtual rack overflows. Each letter is worth a different point value. Each word you enter gets checked for validity. You get a point multiplier as you enter valid words in sequence. Take too much time, type in an invalid word and you start losing points. You've got 75 tiles to get through. Think fast.

Try it out for a little afternoon brain booster! You might want to set a timer though...it's a bit addicting.
