Could be much better
The dictionary is not very good and accepts a number of words that it should not.

It works
This game gets the job done, scrabble is a simple game and this app works fine.

why does it have to be in Japanese?
I live in Japan, and Im fed up with being restricted to having to buy apps that are all in Japanese or only for the Japanese market. This scrabble game in the U.S store is way better: you can play online with your facebook friends, and have up to 50 active games. Now Im stuck playing with the computer. I want a refund for this. Total crap. Apple: let us buy apps from EVERYWHERE!!! get rid of those silly restrictions! Not everyone who lives in Japan can or wants to play their game in Japanese! 日本マーケット用であまり面白くないです。対ＣＰＵで遊ぶが好きな方なら、おすすめです。 アメリカ版ではＦａｃｅｂｏｏｋ友達と対決ができるのに、なんで日本ではそんなのできません？後、言語も、英語と日本語を選択できればいいです。正直、英語でscrabbleをやってるのに、なぜコマンドや説明などが全部日本語になっているのが納得できません。それより、同じappでなぜ世界中で同じものが買えないのがもっと納得できないですけど。 返金してもらうかしら？

Weird and censored dictionary
The game itself is fine, but the dictionary is a problem. It contains many words that genuinely do not appear to exist (not even appearing in scrabble word lists), does not contain words that appear in concise dictionaries, and has been bowdlerised, removing a whole lot of words that might be construed as referring to sex or sexuality. This should be easily solvable and solved.

Scrabble
Doesnt accept British English; relies on really obscure words that one would only find on a Masters course on ancient Mesopotamian agricultural farming methods. Stretches the boundaries of fair play by using "words" that represent the -th letter of the Chinese or Hebrew alphabet (the computer uses a lot of one consonant-one syllable constructions, making it easy to use otherwise previously unimagined, previously thought impossible constructions of x and i, for example). I make up words on the chance that they may exist, no matter how bizarre, which then end up getting accepted, to much mirth and delight. Perhaps a bonus there but not really in the spirit if Scrabble, I think. But why on earth wouldnt it accept the word zen? A version which raises the occasional eyebrow.
