Where's the best place for online Scrabble?

[watervole]

I was playing at Scrabulous.com, but the site seems to have vanished.

Where would you recommend for playing email Scrabble?  I don't want to play in real-time. I like to be able to print out the board and mull over my turn - my anagramming skills are slow.

I also need to be able to take long breaks between turns if the shoulder starts hurting.

I was just starting to get back into Scrabulous after it vanished from Facebook, so it's a pain to have my current game vanish.

If anyone can recommend a good site, I'm happy to play (as long as you're okay with unpredictable gaps between turns).

Apparently, there's been a ruling that they can't use the name any more. They've moved to www.lexulous.com, but the last time I checked (yesterday) they didn't have the play by email up yet.

I think lexulous might be on Facebook too but I haven't looked because it's not as good as something that actually emails you when it's your turn.

Thanks!

I'll look forward to the email option starting up again.

Ooh thank you, I was really annoyed when Scrabulous just vanished. They seem to have moved all the accounts as well, I am signed in already.

Would you like an email game, once they get that part of the site up and running?

The problem with Scrabulous was that it was a blatant copy of Scrabble and a clear breach of copyright which is why Hasbro/ Mattel wanted it withdrawn.

There are also rumours that H/M are planning their own online version of the game which, presumably, will be a money spinner or, at least, an opportunity to advertise new games for them, hence why they don't want competition.

If H/M ever got around to their own version, I'd happily play it (assuming it worked properly with offline games). In the interim, I'll happily continue playing Scrabulous/Luxulous.
