"Don\u2019t call it a comeback!  Less than 48 hours after voluntarily shutting down Scrabulous at the behest of Hasbro, the game\u2019s creators have relaunched the popular application under the name Wordscraper.   The new game was first spotted by a commenter over on Pulse2.\nScrabulous founders Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla turned the game off in the US and Canada on Tuesday following legal threats from Hasbro, makers of the original board game that Scrabulous was based on.  Now, the game is back online under a new name, and 200 people are already playing \u2013 a number that will presumably grow exponentially in the hours ahead as more people learn of the game\u2019s return.  There are some changes however, including an altered look and feel that makes the game look much less like the original Scrabble.\nMeanwhile, after a sluggish start - which included some downtime - the official Scrabble game from Electronic Arts (who licensed Scrabble from Hasbro) appears to be booming \u2013 as of this evening, the application is showing more than 50,000 daily active users.  We\u2019ll now wait and see if the gaming giant moves to shutdown Wordscraper as it did its predecessor.  One would have to assume so, but kudos to the Agarwalla brothers for keeping a thorn in their side. \nIf you were an active Scrabulous player, we're curious to know if your old games were carried over to the new version.  Let us know in the comments."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
