What Makes GrabbyWord Stand Out
GrabbyWord is an exciting fresh twist on the typical word game. Challenge your friends, play against a random opponent, or play against Grabby and see if you can beat him. Create words on the game board to score points, but be careful because your opponents can steal your letters by using them in new words. Steal the letters back to boost your score.

Community Insight:
Is there a way to get ad free version? We love GrabbyWord very much but hate the ads. Thanks, musikmkr.
We always enjoy grabbyword a lot, but too often we have to delete it and download again as it freezes on us.
We have been playing Grabby words for over 10 years. Never get tired of it its a thinking game and we enjoy playing it we play 13 games of it with our friend. Just fine. Love it. Thanks for making this game.
Im quit playing Words With Friends 6 years ago after discovering there were many cheat apps out there! There is no way to cheat here, thank God. You use your English spelling & Grammar skills, your strategy and the letters youre dealt we wont play powerups with anyone…just enjoy the game! You can upgrade to a version without adds for 8.99…so worth it in the 6 years Ive been playing.
GrabbyWord is one of our favorite word games. We love it.
If you like Scrabble, you would probably enjoy this. Stealing of letters and trying to compose words that cannot be stolen are welcome and enjoyable variations. Thanks. Update: we are dropping this puppy down 2 stars because we have played several games and the computer is using foreign words, two-letter slang, suffixes and the like more and more. Our recent games saw very few actual words by the computer opponent. Scrabble computer foe far superior in the way it plays. Grabby is far superior in how it inserts ads.
We just bought 20 and they wont show up. Aggravated. Love this game and play it often. Help please.
You ruined a great game by adding allowable cheat rules. Was a great game, now stupid. Fire the one who came up with that idea and send him to your competition.
Our favorite game ever. We love all word games, but this one has a level of competition the others do not. Very fun and challenging.
Totally addicting…great way to learn new words and keep your brain active. Fun to be able to play with friends and family.
Its a cute game and its fun to play but it just drains the life out of our battery… There doesnt seem to be any customer support either… Plus there are a few too many ads.
Well hello again the glish that we had is over, thank you for fixng it. Now something else has ocurred like the colored squares that one pick to make a pair to win the amount.. You have to see video first. Well thats not working its frozen no video no coins. We tend to buy levels in challenges please fix please love this game….,.
Love the Game but so many cheaters.
Currently our favorite game. We love stealing our opponents words. Words plus strategy plus tools. The game uses a lot of data; maybe it's because of the ads.
So entertaining and great fun, especially playing the mini tournaments! We would have given five stars, but we must say the ads are quite annoying.
Great game could play for hours.
We have been playing this game for over a year and it still has not lost it's shine. Just when you think you know what all you have word stolen from you. It's a great game you have to be very strategic where you place your letters.
Really good game, completely different strategy.
For us, this game quickly zoomed to the top of the list in the word games category. The ability to steal points is wickedly fun.
Always a close game since others can steal points away. We like stealing back. Lol. Fun awesome game.
An avid word game player…a challenging twist to a scrabble-like game.
Play several times a day. Different, fun, surprising, challenging.
We love this game, very challenging and fast moving. A little pricey to remove the ads, that's why we took off one star.
We love this game and would play it more if not for the stupid ads that force you to make a move or hit install now that opens a browser just to exit out of it. We don't trust it & it's frustrating. We will never give the 5star rating it deserves until it's removed.
Love this game, too many ads though…, but, we love this game, lol.
Since a friend told us about this game, we have played it almost exclusively! We're afraid it takes us away from other ongoing games. It is the best game yet.
Just started playing. We like it even if we can't figure out the scoring and the stealing points. But we will.
Love this game! Better than wwf.
Love this as you never know where a sneaky move will lead…great equalizer to wordy's.
Very addicting. Love the way you compete with others or just crabby word. Can't stop playing..worth the try.
This is our favorite game! We play with friends across the country and they all love this game. It's fun to keep track of our stats too! Great job Playzot.
Heard about this from someone in a word games league and it is a winner. Hoping it gets added to our leagues.
This is a highly addictive game! A lot of fun too! Try it.
Love this game!! We play this more than Words with Friends now. We really like being able to play the computer, never have to wait.
We just started playing, but like it so far.
Now this is what we are talking about, for sure. It is a great, fun game. Thank You, Elaine.
Took a little time to figure out the scoring but it is fun.
A little something different. Love stealing points and having option to look up a word on the spot.
We love this game! It's a combo of scrabble and Othello.
This game is awesome!!! It is challenging and improves your word skills.
We love it,,it's a thinking game on a whole new level.
Very exciting and beteer than Words With Friends.
Enjoy playing this game. Nice twist on Scrabble.
More challenging than scrabble. The taking of tiles changes the strategy for each play.
Love playing this game but we spend most of our time waiting days or weeks for opponents to play. Please consider adding some reasonable limit (2-3 days?) for people to play.
Love this game, something different, challenging against other people and/or the computer. Fast moving. Wish there were a few less ads that sometimes run too long but that's the only reason we took one star off our rating.
Game was fun until it started giving our points to Grabbyword. Now the game is gone.
Every time someone asks to play, we accept. On any given day we have 40 games going. Yes, 40! So does that tell you how much we like Grabby Word? You will too. Give it a try by asking us to play.
Coming from a word game junkie, we can tell you that this game is one of the best! It's fun, glitch-free and addicting. It's free to play and has a great user ranking system to keep track of where you stand daily/weekly on the global scale (which we LOVE!)… Don't know 'bout you! You can also chat with your opponents during game play, if that's your thing. All-in-all…. EXCELLENT game.
Great game — do you have the game without the adds.
