Maybe this is a girl thing, but I love board games and I love a little healthy competition. Add to this that I learned early in my professional career that the internet can only be surfed so far and so wide and that coworkers can only be talked to for so long, I fell immediately in love with scrabulous.com. I also have an easier time validating wasting time this way because I feel like I’m being stimulated and learning new vocabulary…

What’s great about scrabulous.com you ask?? Scrabulous.com is free, and you can play it by yourself or invite up to three other people to play with you. Best of all, it can be set to email you alerts so the boss never knows that you, model employee extraordinaire, would never engage in such tom foolery at work.

Some additional wonderful aspects of scrabulous.com is there message board located in the middle of the game. This allows you to taunt your fellow players. It has a spell check function and a list of two letter words. Who knew that “QI” was a word? Your opponent, that’s who, when he/she cries over the thirty points you just collected in your infinite scrabble glory.
