    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

    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.

    Things I'd like to see:

    1. Display best move, after I've had my attempt.
    2. Display best move if I give up.
      My latest game is attached. ![alt text](356 before.jpg 356 after.jpg image url)
    3. A Play Again button.
      Perhaps some of these are supposed to work, but I don't see them.

    @lexulous I received 0 points after playing a move that was actually better than the best move listed. This happened when I first started playing, but hasn't happened again until today. Also, I'm not exactly sure about the rankings. Will these be explained better somewhere, and will there be a reset when the game is launched, so we can start out with scores unaffected by program glitches?

    @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.

    The backspace key doesn't always work when trying to arrange letters on the board. Instead it backs out to the previous web page.

    How can the Score to Beat be higher than the Best Move?

    @Elizabeth-Stockton The Best Move is an indicative score from our robot. We shall be changing the text soon.
