Lexulous

I'd be curious to know when people started playing this game. I remember playing when it was called scrabulous and it was the same format as the famous board game. Probably 2007-08 on the website.
Because of copyright infringement they had to revamp the board and I'll just say they really got it just right. The size of the board and the letter distribution and the location of the increase scoring squares is all great. This is definitely the best word game out there. If anybody replies please mention the year that you joined and any other comments you wish to share. -

That was, what, 2015 or thereabouts? A number of other players in Lex. are also former Literati people so they would have a better idea than I. I lost my old ID during the transition to the new board and can't dig up any old records.

For me it was 2006 -- OMG 18 years ago!

I started in 2006 as well, though under a different name. I played all through my wife's cancer as an escape from the horrors of that. Healthy compartmentalization for sure. I feel like it's been something to keep my head straight. I do really appreciate that many of the people who were just flat out unsavory (both in the lobby and also in game chat) seem to mostly be gone. Maybe it's sad to say that this has been a big part of my life in some ways. A hobby...and also a reprieve from the hardships in life. I only play speed games (1 or 2 minute games). It keeps my brain sharp in some ways. And I've made connections with people, even small ones, but connections nonetheless. A yoga teacher in Austin. Someone who takes care of her mother with dementia. And on and on. Thank you for providing a space for all of this.

Started back in 2007, and I totally agree—nothing quite compares. They nailed the board design and letter balance even after the revamp. This game is hands down the best for word lovers!"

It was such a great online alternative to the classic board game, and I was really impressed with how they managed to tweak the format while keeping the gameplay just as enjoyable. The board size, letter distribution, and premium square placement feel so well-balanced, making it one of the best word games out there. Been playing on and off ever since! Curious to hear from others—when did you first start playing?

@Lilia They really did a great job with the new board. I can imagine how difficult it would be to get everything right, but I can't imagine it better. The only thing I miss is the Flash version. It was so much better than this kind of unwieldy and awkward platform which I realize are limitations of the software.
