Here is a good treat for all Scrabble fanatics! EA just recently launched the official Scrabble App on the Android Market. The best thing about the new app is that it is free and cross-platform multiplayer. Android users can play against iOS and Facebook users.  Through EA’s Origin service, users can save their games through the cloud.

Here are some of the basic features of the game:

• CONNECT WITH FRIENDS IN MULTIPLE WAYS - It’s easy to find friends playing SCRABBLE. Connect and play via a username, email address, or send an invitation using your Android smartphone contact list. Post invitations to play via Facebook and email, too!

• PLAY FRIENDS ACROSS PLATFORMS - With real Cross-Platform Play, you can challenge fellow word warriors on other Android devices, iPhones/iPod touches, and even Facebook. Play SCRABBLE anytime, anywhere – and with virtually anyone.

• PLAY UP TO 50 GAMES AT ONCE - Also play against random opponents online and enjoy 2-player Pass ‘N Play (and see your highest scoring choices with the Best Word feature). When you add it all up, you can play up to 50 GAMES at once!

• TALK A GOOD GAME - Socialize and stay in the game! During gameplay, the chat icon will blink when you have a message. And when you’re not playing, you can get notified when it’s your turn, when a game is created, or when a game ends. (Notification features require OS 2.2 and above. Please upgrade to the latest Android OS for full functionality.)

• LEARN AS YOU GO WITH THE TEACHER FEATURE - See the best word choice from your previous move with this fan favorite feature. The more you play, the better you get!
• TRACK YOUR STATS AND SEE HOW YOU DID - At end of the game, check out the highest-scoring word and more. See how your play improves as you become a real SCRABBLE master.
