    For the last several weeks, to place a tile, you need to set the tile one space under the square you want & then it will slide up into place. More recently, the tiles are disappearing altogether if you move them about on the board AND the blanks retain the letter you 1st assigned to them. They often will not become blank again even after recalling all tiles- they stay stuck as that letter you first chose.

      @jean-pearse I am in the same spot as you. I believe it has to do with Adobe Flash not being supported any longer. If there is a solution that has already been posted, please repost it!

          @spellingfool why not try some patience? It is not like Lex asked Adobe to leave. Lex is trying to give a site..that is worthwhile why not try some patience?

                    @lexulous I love the feature that the play button turns green when a word is valid... to have that feature in the regular lexulous game would be FANTASTIC!

                      @Pangloss I beat the best score often. An example today: Score to beat OKA 10. Best score AILERON 21. I put the same word (AILERON) and scored 59 by putting it in a different place. I often find 7 and 8 letter words which were not found by the setter, so obviously add on the bonus to the score. It has taken me five months to rise from 20th to 6th on the US dictionary site.

                        @Pangloss It was the best move so far. If you beat it, you are the best move so far. The machine can only compute what its algorithms allow and they don't take account, it seems, when you place tiles that allow words to be read in say three or four different directions. But who am I to say?

                        @nell-nelson "Best move so far" is different than "best move." There can only be one "best move."

                          @jenny-hornsey Best score wasn't the question, and my question was rhetorical - it was "best move. There can be many, many best scores, but by definition, there can only be one "best move" at a given time.

                                        @Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus Also, I don't really care about tally of points; some games only a few points make a win, other are many, so it's irrelevant. I would like to know, however, how many people I am playing; rank is meaningless without that. If there are just a few hundred players, I'm doing terrible, if there are thousands, I'm doing well.

                                        @sarah-smith-kornhaus Was 'more information about the ranking feature in the Lexulous Practice mode' addressed? Is the idea to have a high 'Puzzle Rating' and a low ranking?Lexi.PNG
