- Dan Zeman (Czech Scrabble enthusiast - see the Czech pages) translated this info about a new tile
layout from a Polish web page:
The revised edition is now on the market. Besides its outwards appearance, the most important changes are: tile size is now 19x19 mm (formerly 20x19); one letter A was added; one F was removed; the point score of F was increased from 4 to 5 and that of Ź (Z acute) from 7 to 9. The new appearance of the gameboard did not provoke general excitement but this design was chosen at the Mattel headquarters and there was no room for discussion. The new tiles fit the old board so if someone does not want to buy the new set they can use a pen to change the values of F and Ź, and convert one F to an A. Not all the suggestions of the PFS concerning letter distribution and value were accepted by the producer and we had to be satisfied by this compromise which is the most required change according to the analysis of letter frequencies in the OSPS word list. The new set is obligatory at official PFS tournaments. The changes are also reflected in Scrabble on the net (Cronix). The first experiences with the new set show that playing is easier and the average results are 10-15% higher. - Play Polish Scrabble online. (Site

- Slów Bal - Polish - I had
been unable to get an exe from this site that ran, after many tries, but
I finally discovered that it downloads fine on IE - I had been using Netscape.
Also availble - Set Board, a
board generator (HTML page of plays, plus gif image) which takes .GME files
output by Slów Bal as input.
- Siódemki
appears to be an anagram program/scrabble word tester. Again, you must use
IE to download this or it gets corrupted. Contains a significant word list.
- Slówa (30K DOS) - Polish
Probably not a full Scrabble game, at that size!
(also here)
There's another page at dione.ids.pl which has a scrabble program; I had a quick look in the zip and it seemed to be mostly in English but there were a lot of Polish filenames, so there may be some Polish customisation. It's only 160K so have a look for yourself to see what's in it. - Projekt SCRABBLE client/server protocol; includes word list
- Linux Sakreble (Uses Trolltech's QT library)
- Mard's Literaki
This is a game similar to Scrabble which is written by Tomasz Mularczyk. This code uses the dictionary which developed by www.kurnik.pl team. (Kurnik is an online gaming site with an online java version of Literaki.) It is based on the Ispell dictionary (version 20011004), but has been combined with some more free PL dictionaries. The license is Creative Commons ShareAlike. The dictionary is approaching 3M words. You can find out more about it at:

- Szkrable
I haven't yet downloaded this one but the filenames suggest it is another Polish version of Scrabble.
- Scrabble V1.1
- a scrabble club
(Has a download section with some utils for running scrabble tournaments) - Official Polish Word List (on CD)
- once you buy the CD, there are several upgrades available online. (Newsflash: I think we're at update 25 now!)
At the foot of this document is a short list of words comprising Upgrade 15. It is quite important because of the number of 2's - warning: the site is rather slow. Can take minutes to load. You may actually see it sooner if you hit 'stop' rather than wait for some slow graphics.
Note: Seems to have moved here. I can't see the word list any more.
