Trapword is a Scrabble type board game played with a new dimension, not to mention the new hexagon dimension shape of the tiles. The basic concept of Scrabble applies here with a few twists. You have more sides of the tile to work with which gives you better opportunities to make more words. And the main option after creating words is to try to trap words and blank spaces so the other player will have limited space to work with. When you trap spaces after creating a new word (surround an area where no new words can be placed) you will receive points for the new word and points for the spaces trapped.

If you love the challenge of Scrabble, I guarantee this program will give you more of a challenge. So if you think you are up for it download the program and be ready for an exceptional, strategy, mind expanding game.

In the demo you can only play at thirty-minute intervals. Save the game and exit the program and you can then open the saved game and begin where you left off.

Note: One thing I really didn't like about the program when playing against the computer it used words I have never heard of. But I took this as a challenge and tried my best to outwit my worthy opponent. ( I was not successful but I have not given up, yet!)
