Amazon.com Review:
If you can't find anyone to play with you because you're just too good--or you just don't like cleaning up little wooden tiles--the Scrabble CD-ROM is for you. Up to four players (human or computer) can play on a variety of boards and backgrounds (try chrome in the desert for that Road Warrior look). You can choose your computer opponent from five levels of difficulty, from Novice to Champion, or you can create your own custom opponent, based on a chesslike rating.
Play is speedy and satisfying; the sounds of the tiles clicking on the board are alarmingly realistic. You can challenge words, be challenged yourself, or find definitions of words you don't know in the online Official Scrabble Dictionary. (You can even receive hints and suggestions from the "Maven.")
Online multiplayer is in full force, too. Play with bored students in Oxford using the network features; though this slows the game down depending on your Internet connection rate, you'll find you need more time to crush your human challengers anyway. Sharpen your skills with the minigames: find two- or three-letter words, do anagrams, or find the best play with a given setup. Even if you're a regular Scrabble player, you should find yourself returning to your computer time and again, either to brush up or to try again against the champion. --Rob Lightner

The workaround for the "CD in Drive Requirement" is to create a "Disk Image" of the Scrabble CD-ROM using Apple's Disk Utility Program located in the Utilities Folder. Choose "Create New Image, From File" in the menubar. Select the CD-ROM, name the file "Scrabble" and presto. The Mac created a copy (Disk Image) of the CD-ROM onto your hard drive. Just be sure to mount (open) the disk image before starting each game. This is a good way to backup all of your software CDs.
As for the game ... Read More

One way around your problem is to mount the disc to dmg. If you then open the dmg before launching the game, it will run without needing the cd. I hope this helps to raise your fun.

This game plays scrabble with you. The trouble is it refuses to run without the CD being in the drive. I don't want to carry a box of CDs around with my laptop. This is stupid deyound belief. Avoid this product.

This product is great for improving your Scrabble game, and it's also a lot of fun. You can play against 1-3 computer opponents with varying skill levels, or against real people. Unless you're in tournament mode, you can take advantage of features such as a word lister that generates suggestions for how to score the highest points with the tiles you have. There are also features such as instant summaries of letters remaining to be played.
My one annoyance is with the dictionary: it challenges ... Read More

This is a great way to play Scrabble if your partner doesn't play. It has a dictionary, word lists, and other guides. It would be nice if you could click once for a new game and not have go back to the menu and re-do your preferences. Another problem (with Macs) is, it crashes when interrupted by indexing and other automatic computer functions (updates, etc.) All in all it's an easy and fun way to squeeze a little Scrabble into your life, and to improve your game.
