Scrabble 2007 Edition is a puzzle video game for the Nintendo DS and PC. It was published by Ubisoft and developed by WIZARBOX. It was released on September 7, 2007. The rules are the same as the board game of the same name; please see the article for information about the game. The premise of the game, like the real-world version, is to place letters on a grid to score points in a crossword fashion.
[edit] Controversy
The Nintendo DS version made worldwide news in September, 2007 and December, 2008 when parents became upset upon finding the game's artificial intelligence player using coarse language ("shit", "lesbo", "tits" and "fucker"). This led to the re-rating of the game to be 12+ instead of 3+ under PEGI and "Everyone" ages 10+ under ESRB.
