2009 version for PC
On a positive note, the board is larger on screen compared to 2007 version and subsequently less clutter around the board.
On the negative side, you can't seem to set it up for 2 humans to play offline and the placing of words on the board has taken a huge step backwards and is now quite awkward on a laptop touchpad. They've removed the easy facility of clicking the start square, direction arrow and typing in the word. You now have to manually place letters or select letters in sequence and drag the selected letters to the board.
It's clearly been adapted from the console varieties (moreso than earlier PC versions) and dumbed down to those levels.
A crying shame for the legion of hardcore fanatics who had hoped for a better gameplay experience
