How to play Moxie 2 on Mac

Game summary

Moxie 2 is the FUN word transformation game...easy to learn, but challenging to master. You start with a hand of 64 letters that you go through "Solitaire" style. Place each letter on the board or "Pass". If you "Pass" you can't go back to that letter. Once you spell a word and start transforming it into other words, don't break the word chain! That's a "Twaddle" and you'll lose points. There's no time limit and while it helps to know a lot of words, Moxie will more greatly reward those who like to think strategically.
First released: Jun 2010

Play Moxie 2 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Moxie 2 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Moxie 2 installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

Step 4
