This is a great set of puzzles that keep me occupied on my commute. I use my ipad and Apple Pencil to fill them out, though I would suggest a paper copy would be great as well.

A great variety of puzzles and difficulties throughout - highly recommend!

Excellent concept. Better quality puzzles than the other offerings in the shops. Hard to review properly via an online soft copy as needs to be a hard copy so that you can do the puzzles.

Right up my street, this selection of word puzzles probably didn't need the official Scrabble branding to be a success, but it certainly won't hurt. It's a random spread of different types of letter-wrangling tests, so first up was a new kind of puzzle to me, that they call a 'word slider' – six columns of letters have to be mentally manipulated like a low-budget one arm bandit until a full word appears in the specific window across them all. A 'Scrabbleword' is a Wordle puzzle, with the usual hot and warm clues, and a demand the target word scores the specific value given with its tiles. 'Seven letters' is of course a routine Scrabble requirement, but in the tests under that name you solve four crossword clues, and rearrange all the seven letters they share to find the main word. 'Scrabble Score' is the regular newspaper test, of getting the strongest score you can from a given rack.

So it's a little disappointing to then get a word search – it's a pity the pages can't be filled with the fresh and novel. If you want to ration this over the days to come, a whole three anagrams on a page (or, worse, "make a word by putting these four syllables in order") might not take much time – although when you find AIMED and MEDIA, will the novice know the third right answer? Either way, the connection with newspaper puzzlers are added to with a word wheel – find the nine letter word and as many others, as long as they use the letter in the wheel's hub. You also get a word ladder to do now and again – change a four-letter word one letter at a time, until you get the end target, but here the tiles are included and you can use those and only those.

Much more taxing, time-consuming and related to Scrabble is the 'Soup', which looks like a word search but asks you to find the richest word, value-wise. It's only a still image of those browser games where letters fall down to replace the ones you use in making a word, but it's a much larger one. It also asks you to consider words longer than you'd normally play in Scrabble, as does a twist on the word wheel/anagram format.

But it doesn't end there, for you then get the small crossword with only the vowels showing, and the consonants beside it to find homes for. This for me was the most taxing, and I would have loved time to get the board out, and try and solve with tiles – pen and paper seemed a poor second.

All told, with the puzzles above recycling several times, and sometimes kind of gaining a progression in difficulty, this is a success – some of the tasks have little to do with the game giving its name to the title, but they are all letter manipulation tasks, none involve knowledge of the downright esoteric entries to SOWPODS, and whatever puzzle you fetch up at there is a happy bit of satisfaction if you do it promptly, or indeed at all. Apart from the word search, of course. A strong four stars.

I've just spent a couple of days in Brighton with family, and this book kept us all entertained on the train journey and in the evenings, it worked for the whole age range of our group 8-64. Definitely something for everyone and gave us all time off our devices.

I often do word puzzles to keep my mind active and I loved that this one was a mix of all 18 types of word puzzles.

Really recommend for when you're looking for time away from screens, ice breakers for team events or something different to do with the family.
