    Hi. Thanks for this. Things I like: they're from actual games; you're given previous player; you're given highest move (though occasionally strange that the AI doesn't find anything higher....). Things I'd like to see different: to see what the AI's play actually was, after you've played; for the scoring system to take more notice of how well you do versus potential points and less of how well the previous player happened to do; (and this is the biggy for me) to have a rating system that puts more weight on how well you do with the games you play than with how much you play. Right now it's an awful lot to do with volume of puzzles you complete, which could be one metric but it's not the one I'm interested in.... Thanks!

      @lexulous The puzzle no longer hangs. I get the score. But there is no option to play again. PUZZLE.jpg

        @Lesa-Moore Thank you for the screenshot. This seems more of a problem due to Facebook game room. Our team will look into fixing this.

          @Lisken-Van-Pelt-Dus Nice thoughts.

          • The AI is an indicative score. We will be providing bonus points if the AI's score is beaten by the player.
          • Rating system will be improved.

            Q4. Where can I find the dictionary being used for the puzzle?
            A4. The dictionary being used is accessible to the right of the board.

            No, it isn't.

                  @lexulous Really, really love this feature. Please keep it! Still - although I love playing against a computer, the words are really "out of this world". It would be much better if you could program it to use less freaking weird vocabulary, and more "game"! The level should not be based on the vocabulary, but on the strategy. 🙂

                    It won’t let me move the letters onto the game board.

                        Why has this suddenly started making a sound when I choose a letter? It's really irritating and I can't find a way to silence it other than through the laptop's volume setting. Other than that, love this mode.

                              When I look up a word on the game resources, it is second nature to hit the "enter" button rather than the go button on the board. Unfortunately, this then plays my word, instead of checking dictionary, so costs me points. I can't imagine I am the only person that does this. Can you fix this?

                                  @lexulous I like the puzzle mode but it is infuriating on the occasions when I can't match the highest previous score. I don't mind failing. What I mind is that I can't find out how that high score was achieved, so I can't learn from it. It really puts me in Grrrrrr mind state.

                                    @Nell-Nelson After you have played your turn, just above the rack you get the option for viewing the player's move and the AI recommended move.

                                        Hi,
                                        The tiles are too small, the shuffle is overlapping the zoom, and it often takes many touches to move the tiles, and a larger board would be nice.
                                        Thanks!
