Ortograf is a Macintosh Scrabble-style word game by Gilles Blanchette of Logiciels Ortograf (Teamsoft), released in both English and French editions. Distributed through the Info-Mac board-game archive as ortograf-10.hqx and ortograf-10-fr.hqx, it offers four difficulty levels and five game modes wrapped in a polished interface.
Scrabble-Style Gameplay
Players form words on a Scrabble-style grid, drawing from a tile rack. The author advertises four difficulty levels and five types of parties (game modes), allowing matches to scale from casual play against a beginner-level computer to a more demanding contest.
Bilingual Editions
Two parallel releases ship the same engine with localized dictionaries: an English edition (ortograf-10.hqx) and a French edition (ortograf-10-fr.hqx). The French release was promoted via teamsoft.com/ortograf, with a separate English landing page at teamsoft.com/ortograf.english/.
Author and Distribution
Ortograf was written by Gilles Blanchette and published under the Logiciels Ortograf banner at Teamsoft (ortograf@teamsoft.com). It reached the Info-Mac brd (board games) directory and was praised by its author for an easy-to-use interface during the System 7 and Mac OS 9 era.
