We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to download Squabble, our deviously fast word game. We put a lot of energy and hard work into each of our games, then bake them in our special brick ovens until they're just perfect. We hope you enjoy Squabble as much as we do.

Squabble combines traditional word-making gameplay with fast and frantic multi-player action. Quick to learn and easy to play, Squabble challenges up to ten players to form the best words they can from a shared pool of letters. But watch out - any player can steal another word in the blink of an eye if they can make it better!
Features:
To start a new game of Squabble, click the main window when a game is not in progress. You can select a solo game if you wish to play against the computer by yourself, or to log onto GameSmith for multiplayer gameplay.
After selecting your opponents, the game will begin with a small number of tiles being turned over automatically. New tiles will be turned over at the interval defined in your game settings.
If you can make a word with at least minimum number of letters (default: 4) allowable, you can MAKE a word. Simply type in the word and press Return to claim it as yours.
Any played word can be stolen by re-arranging the letters and adding at least one tile from the pool. To steal, just hold the Shift key as you type the new word - Squabble intelligently figures out what word you're trying to steal. Once you have completed typing the new word, press Return to TAKE it.
As always, please consult the in-game help for more detailed instructions.
The full version of Squabble costs $19.95. By registering, you'll remove the trial launch restriction, as well as feel good by supporting independent software development for the Macintosh.
Squabble is available via the Freeverse Store - open 24/7!
