A free online edition of of the bombastic board game is available now on Pogo, with a Facebook version coming "later this month," according a press release. The application would go up against reigning champ Scrabulous, which despite litigation threats is still alive and kicking.

The press release also confirmed that "many more Hasbro game properties in development and slated to launch on social networking sites later this year." Boggle knockoffs, beware!

Looks like JPAG will have to peel itself away from Dolphin Olympics for a few minutes to try and remember how to use X in a three letter word. Xis for the triple word score!

That looks bloated and ugly compared to Scrabulous.

i just tried it out and it was fun. I dont really use facebook (although I do have an account there) so I have no clue what scrabulous is but I tried this scrabble game and I liked it alot. it was easy to use and I had fun playing vs the computer. I won with a score of 230-225. Horray for me :p My winning word was "Ho" :)
