Will we never hear the end of the Scrabulous story?
Last week the developers, two Calcutta-based brothers called Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla, received the long-awaited lawsuit from Hasbro, the official holders on online Scrabble rights in North America.
On Tuesday, the Agarwalls took Scrabulous down in the US and Canada. And on Wednesday they launched a new word-building game called Wordscraper. It's like Scrabble's second cousin, twice removed.
Wordscraper has just a few hundred users right now, but given the passionate defence of Scrabulous by outraged Facebookers, we can expect that to grow pretty quickly.
Remember that Scrabulous is still accessible to anyone outside the US and Canada, where Hasbro's rights apply, so Wordscraper might not have as much appeal in the UK.
But are you up for it? Have you played it? Our hard-working Scrabulous research team are busy road-testing it and we're not so sure this one's a goer...
