Letter Rack (Classic) playing the English (UK) dictionary: a busy board with words such as JESTS, NEUTRON, BANQUET and JARGON, a summary panel with each player's score, and the player's rack of tiles along the bottom

What it does

Everything here is in the program itself, with nothing to unlock.

Play

One to four players, in any mix of people and computer opponents. The computer players have 125 skill levels. There’s a “best play” hint option, a “blank swapping” game variation, a player duration timer, and game save and load.

Words

Seven dictionaries, with dictionary revision so the word lists can be adjusted. It also generates anagrams.

Board designer

A board layout designer is built in, so you can change the layout of the board to suit you.

Puzzle solver

A built-in puzzle solver: solve word-tile puzzles, or create your own.

Your own tiles

The Tile Designer program, which still works with it, lets you design your own tiles, with new fonts and colours.

Seven dictionaries

Letter Rack has always let you decide how big your vocabulary is, from lists of around 39,000 words up to 178,691. Each dictionary can be revised, so none of them is the last word.
