The inventor of the board game Scrabble “Alfred Mosher Butts” have never envisioned that in next 70 years, his baby would be a sensational game in Facebook culture. Just a few months ago, the Electronic unveiled its Facebook connect where it allows you to challange your friends or families whether you are at home or in flight to Hongkong.

“Fire up the Scrabble app on your iPhone, and you’ll be prompted to log in to Facebook. You’ll be able to track all of your Scrabble stats, as well as gather information on your friends. An icon will reveal whether opponents are playing on an iPhone or a browser. You’ll also be able to chat with your opponent, in case you’d like to gloat or find out where they are.” – wired.com

While googling more topic of this app, one result got my eyes nailed on it,  “Facebook Scrabble Cheat”. I got oddly overwhelmed how popular these scrabble word finders among the desperate souls to win over their opponents. I also found this nutcase’s article confessing his obsession with Scrabble Cheats Online:

At the start of game two, I could still feel the love. IMPARTED for a bingo — all seven tiles, baby! And then I was sly enough to forgo QUOIT for 28 points (he’d know I was with you) in favor of QUIT for 26. Clever me!

I thought I could keep it casual. Scrabble with benefits, you know? But it’s not working out that way. I need you all the time — I’m afraid to play without you! And let’s be honest, you do get around. Your creator tells me that traffic to you has spiked in the past few months. He figures Scrabulous is responsible. It dawned on me that to you I was just another word nerd looking for an edge. That made me feel a little dirty.
