I grew up with this game as a kid, playing with my mom looking over my shoulder as the two of us tried to come up with long words together, and it's been a massive influence on my vocabulary and typing style, as well as just being a tremendously fun game in general. The game is surprisingly strategic, requiring you to ration your letters and gem tiles to maximize the value out of each and every one. A lot of other old Popcap games are available officially by some means, but EA is yet to make this one available officially. I'd love to see this game preserved officially, so that others can experience this game that defined my childhood.
