Do you play Scramble on Facebook? What about Shake & Spell on your iPhone or iPod Touch? If you're familiar with either game, you'll know the basic principle; a 4x4 or 5x5 grid of letters and a short period of time in which to find as many words as possible using the letters shown. It's a game that tests your memory, vocabulary and pattern recognition skills.
OK, it's an easy enough game to get the hang of, but unless you're the sort of person that can remember all 971 three letter words in the dictionary (we counted!) or the frankly amazing 3902 four letter words, you're not likely to become world champion. Even if you achieve respectable scores regularly, it's still galling to see someone shamelessly cheat their way through round after round.
