Scrabulous players who were just one turn away from a huge triple word score are now smacking their heads in frustration because the popular Facebook application has been shut down.

Players who logged in to the Scrabulous application on Tuesday were greeted with a message that said "Scrabulous is disabled for U.S. and Canadian users until further notice."

Hasbro, which owns the Scrabble copyright in the U.S., filed suit last week against the Scrabulous developers, brothers Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla. In that suit, Hasbro requested Facebook remove the game for copyright violation, but it was the Agarwalla brothers, not Facebook, who made the decision to disable the game, according to The New York Times.

Scrabulous had more than 500,000 daily users, and Hasbro recently launched a licensed version of the game on Facebook. Since the lawsuit was filed, the number of players who use the official game climbed to around 15,000. However, anyone planning on making the switch on Tuesday was out of luck, because the official Scrabble application was reportedly down at one point.

Regardless, several Scrabble fans were unhappy with the official version and will not make the switch.

"Perhaps the Scrabulous makers will make a new game, similar, but with different colored tiles and under a different name," wrote TechCrunch commenter Helen. "I’ll come back and play that one. As a longtime Scrabble fan, however, they [Hasbro] have permanently lost my business. Trademark or no trademark, I’m a consumer and the product they put out is sub-par."
