      When I look up a word on the game resources, it is second nature to hit the "enter" button rather than the go button on the board. Unfortunately, this then plays my word, instead of checking dictionary, so costs me points. I can't imagine I am the only person that does this. Can you fix this?

      @Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus It is intended to work in the way you mention. Which browser do you use?

      @lexulous I like the puzzle mode but it is infuriating on the occasions when I can't match the highest previous score. I don't mind failing. What I mind is that I can't find out how that high score was achieved, so I can't learn from it. It really puts me in Grrrrrr mind state.

      @Nell-Nelson After you have played your turn, just above the rack you get the option for viewing the player's move and the AI recommended move.

      Hi,
      The tiles are too small, the shuffle is overlapping the zoom, and it often takes many touches to move the tiles, and a larger board would be nice.
      Thanks!

      why use games where the words are obviously made with WGs or programs for cheating? Some people like a good fair game, and don't cheat, so have no chance of solving puzzles made by computers. Let the real players enjoy a brain challenge not just the cheats

      I cannot figure out why sometimes when I hit enter while looking up a word it plays what is on my board, instead of just telling me if the word is legit, so if I just have part of a word up or something, I lose points. Maybe I have a short cut key next to my enter key, or I hit enter so rapidly it doesn't know what I'm doing. Anyone having the same problem, or an idea what I am doing? Thanks.

      the game uses the word qais, but when I use it, it is denied, even the dictionary refuses it

      @lexulous

      1. Last game showed a score to beat was 7 tiles but I checked with a scrabble finder and there was no 7 letter word that could be made with those 87 tiles unless you counted one that was already on the board (meaning you had only used 6 from your rack). However in all other games the number of tiles used in the best score seems to corresponded to how many are used from the rack and doesn't count ones already on the board

      2. I also think there should be an option to see what the best word was after you play.

      3. I would much prefer that the ranking NOT be based on a cumulative score it should be based on how well you play each game. So if you beat the best score you should get extra points and your rank should be based on a percentage of how well you're doing compared to others not on the cumulative score (which means you can't get ranked unless you play thousands of games). Maybe this isn't possible, I guess that's the way pinball ranks are done?

      @Laura-Berendsen Appreciate your feedback.

      • We shall try to remove puzzles where it may not be possible to beat the best move.
      • This option is present, you get it just above the tile rack. In case you do not see this please let us know which browser you are using.
      • New rankings will be available soon.

      @Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus It seems you are pressing the ENTER key quickly.

      @lexulous I think if someone beats the "best move" you should replace the best move with their move. I've done this twice now so far. 🙂

      @Helen-Smith Great idea, we'll try to see if this can be implemented.
