In general, rules to a game can't be copyrighted, so companies are within their rights making a similar game.  But Scrabble is a trademarked name, and Scrabulous is an obvious swipe... also, I think the exact layout of the board (bonus squares) was copied, and that can be copyrighted.

Drop me a line on Facebook when Scrabble's got the bugs worked out--

Andrew - you have your chance to practice now...I started a game with you a few days ago...

And if it is any consolation, I'm having my clock cleaned right now in a couple of games.
