Sounds like a good weekend project to me!

True! Let me fix that.

I'm going to love this game right up until someone else creates a cheating app/site.

Seriously though, cheating apps totally ruin these word games. I remember loving Scrabulous (remember that name?) right up until everyone figured out how to cheat. Then the game just became tedious. Hopefully the tile-taking mechanic in this game will introduce enough strategy to keep play interesting for a while.

But it's not just about who can play a few 10-12 letter words. You need to use the corners and the squares around them to deny your opponent from quickly flipping them back to their color.
