You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pros:
Solid gameplay, responsive, save options, timed game, auto pause, fullscreen and windowed options.
Cons:
Worst music I have ever heard, a bit slow at times, questionable word choices, and lacks a two player game and/or the fun of real scrabble.
Review:

"Prepare yourself for an exciting new word game..."

Exciting? Try disappointing. Though, going in, what can you expect from "video singleplayer scrabble"?

The gameplay is simple, you are given seven letters, and a grid, you have to make words from each set of letters only building off the ones that have come before it. The more letters you use, the better. Use all seven, and you get a bonus. You have a goal to attain, and you can choose to be timed. Very simple.

The grid is a 9x9 grid that has five colored squares on it. Fill in these squares, and you get a bonus. The letters you fill in the squares with will carry over to a bonus round in which you can make a word for extra points. Kinda neat, but dull after awhile.

The music is horrible, and sound effects aren't great.

Visually it is nothing to write home about, but it'll get you where you're going.

It has an autopause feature, which is nice. Anytime you change windows it pauses. Best feature this offers.

The more dynamic feature is the ability to save between levels. There are ten save spaces, all of which you can name for identification. You can also save over any save, but it is a bit cumbersoe.

It is a very simple game, but not really worth playing. Go but a crossword puzzle book, or pay sudoku for 9x9 grid goodness.

Conclusion:

Save your money, unless you are a cross word freak, there is limited to enjoyment to be had in Word Mojo.
