Have you ever come across a game that'S so testing and so addictive that gelling bored with it would require playing it twenty five hours a day, eight days a week?

Now you can play, without doubt, what must be the best game ever written for the BBC. It's not only great entertainment but also superbly presented, with one of the best instruction booklets I've ever seen.

No·one needs reminding that Scrabble is a board game which involves the placing of letters on a chequered type board to form words, but all words must join others, crossword style.

The computer has a vocabulary of over 8,000 words, and it proves a worthy opponent. There are four levels of skill: level I is beat able but level 4 is way above my standard, but is suprisingly fast at about one minute per move.

The Mode seven board takes some gelling used to, but after a while you get to know it like the back of your hand.

Thanks, Leisure Genius, for a magnificent game that can only be described as next to perfect.
