@mistertoad I use opera and any problems reload fixes them..it is not the norm

@bob Apologies for the inconvenience caused to you. We have rectified the issue from our side.

@janice-lindsay-colao Close your app and restart once, it will work.

@mistertoad in wiki anyone can say anything ..but I do not look very hard because scores are so low for bingos just play and have fun?

@mistertoad I have been playing since I was a little kid and to this day ..still learning

@sakamvari Now I can respond here, no was just a one time thing ..but this morning first turn in 4 min game spent 2 min watching busy arrow go round and round on my first turn, could not reload. 2.5 min into game finally could reload then everything was fine

@57chevvie said in Displayed Word Strength:

@roymccoy It seems the good folks at Lexulous have inadvertently created a new game. The heck with your opponent. Just find words with 100% strength.

I strongly remembered this comment as I was playing tonight. You nailed it: a new game and you're just looking for the big one. I had DEEIOSST, which looked like a likely bingo and there were various spots with room where I could start with just about any of those letters. Yet I couldn't bingo. Ordinarily I would have just played five or six letters and moved on, but this time I knew a bingo was available because the percentages indicated the possibility of a 75-point word. So I hassled with the rack for longer than I care to confess, finding two places where a 75-pointer was possible and trying everything I could imagine at these spots. But finally I had to give up and play the shorter word for far fewer points. When I checked the rack at https://www.wordplays.com/anagram-solver/deeiosst, it turned out there was no 8-letter bingo and the only 7-letter one was ISOETES, "sole extant genus of the order Isoetales". As I wrote to my friend and longtime opponent, I'll be beating myself up over this one for weeks, lol.

I note the upvotes for @Dan-Mitchell's suggestion that "Word Strength" be changed to "Score Strength" and that other players share his view. Nobody is defending "Word Strength", so I propose the change be made immediately, thanks.

@lexulous @sakamvari Please note yet another complaint regarding the capital J. We have the former one by comparison, about which no one ever complained.

@laysan That's a nice computing setup 🙂 We're fans of the MX Master 3 too. Our team should fix the FF issue soon. Your pointers have been helpful.

Microsoft/Hotmail accounts are rejecting mails from Lexulous. We have written to their support, hopefully it will get sorted.

More problems with the new format. If it's not broke, then don't fix it

@buddy5050 You can simply click on the 'T' area marked on the top right corner of the chat box to increase the font size. Or else you can go to settings and change it from there as well.

@hopeful12 Please refer to his link to know some additional features of the new format: https://forum.lexulous.com/topic/635/2021-new-format/3?_=1627280160292

@mapmakere
Agreed. Like they don't appreciate the effort that goes into producing all the bells and whistles so we can have fun 🙂

@lexulous There's another post about this (though I am on a desktop with FF 90.0.2). Chrome works fine!
