        @randy-fauske You can play challenge games on here which also removes the dictionary. I suggest you do that.

        Your suggestion would also mean that every game would have to be a challenge style game. I doubt most people would appreciate those changes.

        In my experience, most people aren't using word generators and prefer to play fair. And they don't use the dictionary to find words (as you suggested in your other post).

          I played one the other who admitted finding words in the official Scrabble Dictionary and said I should show him the rule against. The unheard of complicated word gave him a Bingo over a Triple that cost me the lead and the game.

            I like too use the Lex dictionary which alerts you if your word is proper or not. Often is fun to find new words this way. Challenge games don't permit that.

                @randy-fauske You, too? Thought I was the only one who rotated the letters in the lex dictionary. I play email style, because I'm very slow. I love email, because I can take my time and look at all the possibilities. If I can't find anything, I return after coffee, and lo and behold, a great word was born! hah

                I love to "guess" a possible word sometimes and when that green square comes up with the points, hoooweeeee!

                    The key word is "most", while some play unfairly. Must be tiring rummaging through the dictionary looking for winning words.

                        True, but when you have a good vocabulary and opponent bingos with a complex, unheard of word, it's probable.

                          @mapmakere , Plus I ask them and those who don't think it's cheating - will admit it.

                            I don't understand what you mean by rotating the letters in the lex dictionary. It sounds like you have this automated somehow, and that the "rotating" stops when it hits a valid word. ("If I can't find anything, I return after coffee, and lo and behold, a great word was born!") So what happens while you're having your coffee? I hope for your employer's sake that you're not returning after a coffee break at work, unless you're being paid to just sit there.

                            This reminds me that, to my surprise, no one figured out and announced the function of my previously posted ABC...Z macro. Here's an edited version without the unnecessary steps at the end or the no-longer-needed return keystrokes:

                            Type the A Keystroke
                            Pause for 1 Second
                            Type the Delete Keystroke
                            Type the B Keystroke
                            Pause for 1 Second
                            Type the Delete Keystroke
                            Type the C Keystroke
                            Pause for 1 Second
                            Type the Delete Keystroke
                            [...]
                            Type the Z Keystroke

                            The function should now be obvious in the present context. I can't go get coffee when I use it, however: I have to watch it run.

                                  Who was talking about letters in my rack?
                                  You said this twice (and can delete one of them),
                                  but I didn't understand you either time.
