My sister lives in another state and wants to play scrabble with me.
I have a PC desktop 9.7 and I am technically challenged... really challenged

Anyway, my sister has a smart phone and she said her grandson set her
Up for scrabble (whatever that means). Is there a way we can both
Play.

I do own an Ipod but I only know how to listen to music and take pictures
On it... oh, and said pictures which half the time people say they never got it.

To play Scrabble (or any game), you both need the same program or 'app.'
For instance, I play Scrabble with several people using an app on Facebook. I have to have a Facebook account, and then I have to find the Scrabble app and sign up for that. Then I have to find other Facebook friends (or I can just select random strangers) to play a game with. This one isn't 'real time' so each of us can make a move and go do something else for as long as we want.
Other Scrabble games online are real time, with a clock ticking. Pogo is the name of one program to sign up for for that. That one costs money, but they have a free trial.

So first you need to find out what program she is using. If it's the one on Facebook and you have Facebook, then tell her to 'invite' you to play the first game. It takes a little bit of skill to figure it out at first.

I'm on facebook but she discontinued her a/c. Maybe I can get the app for my Ipod??? Meanwhile I play boggle all the time online...weboggle, it's free.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me. I'll ask her if she wants to get another Facebook a/c... but I doubt it.

As I said, first you have to find out which Scrabble she has.
