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.

i played one game, okay then got a Message Unsupported dictionary found with a retry button but no luck.

I like it, but twice in a row it has given me either a negative score or a zero, when in those games I actually scored the highest score possible.

Love the puzzle. After I played a move, it gave me a score but there was no way to start another puzzle or see the top-scoring answer. It just hung.

@Steven-Papier You have to use the 2LW tab and the tools are all together in there.

I love this new puzzle mode! Question: when I beat a puzzle's "best" move, does my play then become the best move for that puzzle?

@Steven-Papier to the right of the board please click on Tools.

@Helen-Smith That is not being offered as of now. We shall consider this suggestion or maybe has a list of players who have played good moves in the puzzle. What do you think?

@Lesa-Moore we are looking into why the Next puzzle button isn’t showing up on your screen.

@Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus Can you please share your Lex ID on private message? We will look into your puzzle history and try to fix this problem.

@Judy-Hallett Are you able to share a screenshot of the problem you have faced?

It would be great if the game gave you bonus points for exceeding "best move". That way we don't just quit when we hit best move points but look for an even higher score.

@Jean-Pearse Thank you for the suggestion, we shall consider this.

@lexulous I don't care if you fix my scores, I just wanted to let you know. Another little glitch I am seeing is discrepancy in the posted scores. One game said score to beat: 0 (3 tiles). On some games, the score to beat has been has been higher than the highest score. Also, I'm a decent player, but no expert, but at least twice I have beaten the highest score ... is this a matter of levels of difficulty, that is, when you are finished testing, will there be levels of challenge, and this beta level is medium challenge or something?

This is highly addictive and I love it! Thank you! It would be nice to have an extra acknowledgement, however, when I beat the so-called "best move"! That's really fun, and it would be nice to have the game say "You beat the best move by 4 points," or something! :D

@lexulous A few bugs to iron out yet. Also, what you say about scoring doesn't make sense. If I get the same score as the target, the difference is zero, yet in another game (#15 I think it was) I scored 15 for a 21-point answer.

lexulous

@Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus some initial puzzles might have the 0 score. This was rectified in later puzzles. The highest score is what our AI tool generates. We will offer bonus points for those who beat that score.

lexulous

@Lesa-Moore the score you obtain the difference between your score and the target score. If the target score is 10. You play a move worth 5. Then your score is -5.

lexulous

@Melinda-Thompson we shall implement this. Thank you.

Could you put the definitions at the bottom again like the regular lexulous? That is one function I really like. I like this game, it is addicting, trying to figure out the words that the other person had played.
