It’s an app. It’s a game. Just like 2 player on the board game. Can be fast paced. I like fast scrabble. But sometimes I’d rather be lazy. Ehh, it accommodated, so I continue to open it when I am bored. The question. Am I playing another human? Or a computer? 'Cause come on folks, I’m really good at Scrabble(my spelling on this board would not back this up), but not a genius. And if I’m beating the computer I’m gonna go pro. Where does one get an agent? ---

What I could find is that you can play either and there are bots disguised as humans. Just because you beat a bot doesn’t mean anything. It’s not like they have to have their skill level maxed out. From what I see at Reddit, they seem to average around 230 game points. Another report suggests they play to your skill level. ---

Are you actually interested in pro Scrabble? Cuz there are actual (in-person) tournaments at different levels. Might be a fun pastime? e.g. [NASPA: NASPA Tournament Calendar](https://scrabbleplayers.org/tourneys/calendar.html) or [https://wordgameplayers.org/](https://wordgameplayers.org/) ---

I know there’s pro-Scrabble. But I’m sure I’m not that good. Just a pipe dream. What a way to live, tho’. Right? Anyway..on Scrabble GO! I’ve decided I don’t care who I’m playing. It’s a time waster, that requires no angst on my part because I’m a good speller. And it’s fun! ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I know there’s pro-Scrabble. But I’m sure I’m not that good. Just a pipe dream. (I’m not a competitive player, myself) I don’t think you necessarily have to “win” or aspire to be a world champion. They put you in different leagues, etc. It’s just a way to meet (and play with) other Scrabble players in an organized way. ---

Yeah. Not happening. I don’t like human beans that much. Not really social. So it is family, or unwitting visitors that I’d rather shame with my vast _spelling_ abilities. 'Cause I’m just that petty 😁 ---

I wrote an online Scrabble game where you play against the computer, but have no interest in playing it. I made it too good, and it beats the crap out of me (or anyone, I would wager). It always plays the best possible word out of every word in its dictionary, so it’s essentially impossible to beat unless you get very lucky with your draws and it gets very unlucky. If anyone’s interested in trying it, send me a PM.
