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

the game uses the word qais, but when I use it, it is denied, even the dictionary refuses it
@Carolyn-Leverich-Atkinson Please advise puzzle number where this problem was taking place.
-
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.
@Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus It seems you are pressing the ENTER key quickly.
-
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
-
@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?
-
@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:
- Display best move, after I've had my attempt.
- Display best move if I give up.
My latest game is attached.

Perhaps some of these are supposed to work, but I don't see them.

@Lesa-Moore We've noted this issue. It is happening only within the Facebook Game Room browser and shall be rectified soon.

@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.

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.

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

@lexulous Is it possible that the scoring doesn't always work? Sometimes when I beat the previous player, my rating number does go down. But sometimes when I beat the highest previous score by several points (as just now), nothing happens to my own rating number at all. And I don't know why 0 sometimes appears as previous scorings, since that is hardly ever applicable. But maybe I'm just missing something! Lex ID: 8305-2085-2273

@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.
@Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus Oh do I? That's great. I'll go and look for it...

@Nell-Nelson in fact (adding to my previous message) I just beat the AI score twice in succession but my score rating hasn't changed at all. I know it's silly, but part of the fun for me is trying to get my score down bit by bit, as low as I can.

@Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus I am going to shut up now. It must drive you mad how stupid we all are. I've realised I am looking at the wrong number. I should have been looking at the big number, not the little number for my score. And thanks to you I have found the bit where I can see the AI word and the previous player, so that's great. The only mystery is the occasional nothings that appear, but perhaps it's when I click to look at a board and then go to bed without playing at all. So I haven't given up, but neither have I played. I'll try not to do that.... Thank you for being so patient with all these messages.
