Content Does Oasis 10th generation have a way to play scrabble?

Colhea · 09-27-2020, 06:27 PM

Hi, I am considering buying an Oasis 10th generation upgrading from a very old kindle. I play scrabble every day on my old kindle, but I am hearing comments that there are no games on the newer kindles. Is there a way to play scrabble on the Oasis 10th generation? thanks

The Active Content games haven't been supported on the Kindles for a long time. Since 2013 I think. The last Paperwhite I had that supported them was the 2nd one that was released in 2013.

And they apparently pulled active content off the store a couple months ago

Does anyone suggest any other e-readers that do have scrabble?

The Kindle FIRE is a tablet. That probably has a scrabble game. A tablet is what you need to play games.

You can also use the browser and play scrabble. I use aur0raHAX to use html5 apps offline. Here's the link(the thread is old but it still works): "https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=317061"
I use Kindle Oasis 3 9th generation and it works fine.
