Lexulous 2020: Puzzle Mode
-
@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."

@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.
@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.

Lexulous Puzzles is a solitaire version of the game.
We are currently testing out this feature and it is in BETA mode.
If you have any suggestions or comments please reply on this topic.

I'm doing this just to tell this site it won't let me start a new topic. It won't let me post it at all. I'll be really surprised if this is posted.

@nellisssima I'm surprised they locked my Wordle thread. Think I'm done with this forum now.

@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?

I do not like the font - it is difficult to read on certain letters
