Up until a couple of days ago I used to play occasionally on the Facebook Scrabble (outside US/Canada version) app. It was slow, bug ridden and had a lot of unskippable ads but it worked. It’s now been “improved” with an awful interface, (although that doesn’t matter much) but it has removed the ability to set time limits and player level. As I used to use it to play “Casual” 2 player games with 2 minute limits almost exclusively this has completely wrecked it in my eyes. Is there another Scrabble, (or Scrabble clone) that offers something as simple as a 2, or similar number, minute move limit? The ability to choose at what level to compete would be good too but not a deal-breaker. It has to be accessible from the UK.

You could try isc.ro; it’s not a browser-based application, though.
