If you have previously purchased the very first edition of this word game, please contact me in-world and I will verify your past transaction. I will provide a refund for the new versions purchase price of 50% upon receipt.

After popular demand a new version of the popular word game Word Scrambler is now available! After selling over 450+ copies and receiving lots of positive and constructive feedback I decided it would be a good idea to totally remake and enhance the game play and add new functionality that the previous version didn't provide.

Spice up your clubs and events social setting with this highly addictive word game, this is a great ice breaker and will provide hours of fun for your guests. This game will even help increase your traffic with our web based score system, which allows other players to join other game locations directly through our web interface. Check it out: http://mbccreations.com/scoreboard.php

The aim of this game is to answer scrambled words in a given time frame. When the words are solved the Word Scrambler will either pay lindens or give gifts or do neither, totally customizable by note card.

The game now supports web based scoring. Every time someone plays their scores will be posted to the web along with everyone else's scores. Compete together and see if you can get 1st position! http://mbccreations.com/scoreboard.php

Let's improve this game together. I will be taking all feedback for this game into consideration and if I feel the requests are reasonable and will help this game grow I will add them into future updates.

All the code has been rewritten with feedback kept in mind as well as substantial performance improvements, such as:

1). Instant word list importing, no more painful 5 minute waiting times for the game to set-up. (setup now takes roughly 10-15 seconds)
2). Chat from the game is now parcel restricted, no longer enters other people's land and the range is completely customizable.
3). Validation checking to ensure your custom word list is suitable for use without errors.
4). Update system using Hippo's update scripts. All updates are free and frequent.
5). Operation is now menu driven.
6). Updated board graphics and alphabet characters to give the game more style.
7). Now keeps track of how many words are correctly answered.
8). Protect your linden balance with the stop-loss feature (set the game to enter freeplay after a certain amount has been paid)
9). Partial mesh only 6 prims.
10. No more floating text, full prim text functionality
11). Allow group members or public to solve the words
12). Supports up to 12 letter words
13). Comes preinstalled with 1337 words.
14). Compile your own word lists!
15). Now supports a blacklist so you can block certain people from playing
16). Web based scoring http://mbccreations.com/scoreboard.php

Ask anyone in Second Life. This game gets frequent updates all the time. If you have any suggestions please send them my way I am always looking for ways to improve this game!

I have had years of experience running social game hangouts .. I thought I have seen it all in game systems .. Wrong! Word scrambler game had sky rocked my social place into new levels.

It starts up friendly chat .. well wishes ... friendly competition .. and loads of features that are not confusing. Forget about chat range limits, it even has a chat relay with no limit so the board can pick up your solved word from just about anyplace you lay the relays.

Don't forget to grab the scoreboard .. that is an extra layer of madness .. pure fun to watch the scores rise.

The website too is a great feature. Players can check their standings and even teleport to your location from the site. The creator has been nothing more than supportive way beyond the cost of the board. you actually get more than you pay for! I could go on and on ..

Addictive Game, well implemented

This is a perfect SL version of a standard word game. I had seen and played with someone else's copy of it and found the game more addictive in this form than in real life. It works smoothly, and adding a word list of nearly 8,000 words (from http://www.litscape.com/words/word_lists.html)caused no problems.

Note that the board displays a maximum of 8 letters, though longer words continue to appear in chat and solutions are still recognized by the script. For longer words, increasing the time (on the #setting card) might be a good idea.

The developer is very responsive to suggestions, changing one thing I'd commented on in my original review and going to some effort to fix what may or may not have been a very intermittent problem I had with an interim release.

We were amazed by this game, we have hours and hours of fun with friends, you can even put your own words in it and no limit of words, very easy to configure and all that for a cheap price and only 2 prims, you will not regret that game, its addictive !

Redoing my review

I had at first assumed that the item would pay more than 1 guesser for the time span between the times of next words, I was wrong. As my original post stated, I only tested it in my store and would redo the review once I test it elsewhere, which I had. I do love this item. My suggestion stays the same: To be able to have a pay feature so the linden does not have to stay on the avatar its taking it from. It would also be neat to have managers list that could reset it or even pay it. The creator already got back to me on the mentioned =) Thanks!

This does exactly what say it says it will do. Yes i had a small issue but one IM to Stevoid and problem was found and fixed in no time, and yes the issue was all my fault too lol. Excellent customer service.

(oh and a tip, when you write your own words, use all lowercase letters, i didn't, hence my issue lol)
