There was an official Scrabble-brand game for Apple that I owned for a 
while. It was awkward and not much fun to play. At the same time there 
was a piece of freeware whose name I've forgotten that didn't pretend to 
be Scrabble, but if you tweaked the preferences for number and location 
of bonus squares and scoring, it played exactly like Scrabble. Much 
better than the official game.

I eventually scrapped it when I moved on to OS X and it no longer 
worked.
