Thank you Chris for a well researched review of Grabbler. We are very excited by the launch and subsequent meteoric growth of Grabbler I would like to point out a refreshing departure from Scrabble. Its amazing that given the same set of cubes and alphabets, people tend to make such a variety of different words often suprising their opponents. For decades we have played scrabble with 7 "hidden" tiles. Now here is a new game that breaks convention. A game where a player can say to his opponents, "We both have the same oppurtunities. Do you think you can do better than me?" The other point I would like to make is the fact that with Grabbler you tend to analzye word constructions. If you are starting out a word with a consonant then you are looking for a related consonant or a vowel in the next cube. For example if you started with a letter 'G' you would immediately look for either vowels or consonants like "R", "L", "N" etc to give you the most options while working through a word. Finally... We have noticed that the twirling cubes can get extremely addictive because you know that if you search just a bit more you could have stumbled upon the "game-changer" word. Thanks for the great review. Rohit Regonayak Grabbler - iPlaySocial Firstly… Thank you Chris for a well researched review of Grabbler.
