  PS I was looking for Scrabble for the PC (Windows XP). It's retailed by SpinTop Games. Does anyone have any discount coupons for them?

  Pricing:

  A single game before discount is $19.95 US. After the discount, it's about $11.95 US.

  It's also possible to buy gift certificates for 1 or 5 games.

  I recommend against buying a gift certificate for 1 game. The coupon will not work on certificates, so a gift certificate for 1 game is more expensive (the full $19.95). If you want flexibility, maybe sit down with your mum, and let her pick out the game.

  The other alternative is to buy the 5 game certificate, which works out at just under $10.00 US a game. I don't know how it works though as I haven't bought certificates from them.

  Thoughts about Upwords.

  Upwords uses the Microsoft encyclopedia + a bad word list (not sure if Upwords or Microsft made that list).

  By level 6, expert, this can be very frustrating, as the PC seems to have access to many of the unusual words in the Encyclopedia, including words which aren't actually English … :P I would recommend sticking to level 5 for people who don't want to play against an expert in fairly obscure words. (eg zinnia(sp?), ells)

  It'd be good if the bad words list could be turned off. The rule for it is, if the first definition in the encylopedia, for that word, could be offensive, then it's in the bad word list. While this makes sense in some cases, in other cases, it's definitely arguable that a word should be allowed (eg come and toss are in the bad word lists).
