I got to watch Scrabylon recently thanks to Netflix which offer obscure titles. As the only "other" Scrabble movie, people are bound to compare it to Word Wars. Most of the reviews I found favor Word Wars and I agree with them, but not by much. I certainly would not argue with people who say Scrabylon is better.

Anyway, one glaring difference is

Brian doesn't play enough Sowpods to be considered the best in the world, and Nigel doesn't really play enough TWL to be considered the best in TWL.

For a long time, until he basically went on hiatus, Logan was considered by a lot of people to be better than Brian at TWL by those in the know. Logan is also given a lot of credit as a great Sowpods players in North America but abroad people just view him as an unknown commodity.

Note that the World is a little more sporadic than everywhere else, so no one really knows. If you take it statistically rather than just by player reactions, the #1 player in TWL is probably Gibson (although Brian is close) and the #1 player in the World is probably Ganesh Asirvatham (although Logan is probably close, and it's not fair for Logan because he has decimated everyone he has touched in Sowpods)
