Scrabble (tm Hasbro) vs. WildWords: Google AI speaks it's mind unencumbered by sentimental memories of challenging grandma. Others get more emotional.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Californer -- And the results are:
From The Mind Of Google [verbatim]
Choose WildWords if...
You find Scrabble too restrictive or punishing with difficult letter combinations. You enjoy games with more room for creative wordplay and higher-risk, higher-reward plays. You want a more forgiving and relaxed word game experience.
Stick with Scrabble if...
You prefer a more traditional and competitive word game where memorizing specific short words and high-point letters is a key skill. You enjoy a more methodical, less chaotic approach to word-building.
Overall, WildWords is a clever variation that adds a fun, wild twist to the classic crossword format. While diehard Scrabble players might prefer the stricter rules of the original, many people who enjoy word games appreciate WildWords for its higher accessibility and creative freedom.
While Google is not alone in its praise, humans get more emotional.
A New Yorker writes: "Scrabble, schmabble ... Thanks for all you have done to make my life way more exciting with long interesting creative words on this board and thinking way outside the box to win. Finally a game where poets and wild thinkers can win, rather than spreadsheet-oriented rule-followers!"

A competitive couple: "One thing we like - it's really a crap shoot, and our games are sometimes very close, while other times one of us just slaughters the other. I'm inclined to "bomb" every play I possibly can, where her strategy is denser."
A daredevil: "I think Scrabble is more for knitters and stamp collectors. WildWords is more for bungee jumpers and skydivers."
Lost his friends but now they're found: "I adore this game! I'm a pretty serious Scrabbler--not tournament level, but I love the game and take it a mite too seriously. This is a different game entirely. Double and triple words matter, but the real challenge and joy to this game is using all of your tiles. Plus, none of my friends will play Scrabble with me anymore, but they'll try this game. Sometimes they even win!"
