Sure, sign me up.

@carolyn-leverich-atkinson all words evolve from some language but it depends on whether used in the dictionary used here

@lexulous is this available in iphone app?

@Alison-Colby As long as it takes to fix it? Like you waiting for my lex fix..so far cleaned the tub, have loads in the washer and dryer, brought some food in from the garage..so much as rather play lex at least i am caught up with housework.

I wrote (July 21 and 23):

The square numbers are smaller in the new layout. Why? Was anyone complaining about their size in the old one? I wasn't. The new ones look spindly, like the tile letters themselves.

Why did you change 𝘢𝘯𝘺 of the typography when there wasn't anything wrong with it and people liked it the way it was?

I withdraw my prior criticism of the tile typography. I've gotten used to the new letter style and now prefer it. I guess I was just used to the way it was before and resistant to what seemed to be unnecessary change.

I'm still complaining about the dull gray star, however, and the ugly black arrow. The prior star and arrow should be restored. The arrow should also work as before, of course. Also, the Define box should be green rather than the present dull dark gray, and as I've observed before, the return key should trigger Define when the text cursor is in the "Type a word here" field.

@jrp32 I am sure they will tell you it's purely random and there's no way it can be changed. Sometimes lots of Is - 3&4 at once is pretty annoying, but you're probably noticing it more than it actually happens.

@Timothy-Clark Tim/all - I'm pretty sure they'll eventually show up.

Just found this header..add one more major bouquet to what you have done with this site..letters now stay on board so while opponent takes turn, we are free to add and try..and hit enter soon as op finishes turn. Job well done!!!

@Peggy-W-Woon how do i go into my archive?

@betterlate1-0 I am strange I agree, but I don't recall ever wanting or caring if you were nuts. So maybe you answered your own question. From all my people....again...well done you.

@thatguythere202 if you click on the initial or anything else on there you will see who it is. I did not really pay much attention to downvotes or up until i started seeing nothing but downvotes and by no one other than the same ones

That's sad; what reason did they give?

Anyone know why my stats for average word score and average game score never change? I've written to the developer at least four times over the years, but they only answered once to tell me they'd get back to me. That was a year or more ago. Everything else updates: highest word score, highest game score, longest bingo, overall score; it's only the word and game averages that never do.

@betterlate1-0 @dan-mitchell now down to one reputation..guess if they cant harass one way they will do it another

@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.

I'm with you, @vickibma. Some of the people in this forum are terrible bores, and I don't like them either!

@lexulous

This change does not seem to apply to multi-person games.
