Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
7.5/10, if it allowed you to use custom word lists or add a setting to allow players to challenge a word on an unrestricted word list it would be one of the greatest online multiplayer games on Steam, because I'd be deeply amused to be able to play YEEEEEET which my hand once taunted me with on the first turn.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
game opens in a window and has no settings menu for volume or screen settings. the game is fun and it seems to work well enough to play with bots only. just the game doesn't seem to allow me to play online yet. untill that is available i will not be able to recommend this game to anyone. this is barely a proof of concept. when the game advertises that there is online gameplay there should be even a rudimentary online game play like connect to your friends via steam or something. as of right now this game cost money when its missing most of the game, when there's a free online version that is browser based already. hopefully this is fixed very soon because i would like to be able to change my response from a "would not recommend" game to a "i will be recommending it to everyone i know who has a steam account" kind of game. also it would be nice to have some form of notification on the online tab saying it will be added soon rather than just having a non active tab on the main menu.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Still, for the price, it's nice and much better than the free online scrabble & literati; the graphics, the choices of boards & tiles, and the music makes it much more fun.
