        was loving the new puzzle feature, until it started using games where WGs had obviously been used( apparent from the solutions to the words) This is no use and unfair to those who play fair.I
        t means we can't beat the puzzle since we only use our brains and ( sometimes extensive ) vocabularies to play

          @lexulous I was just going to make the same comment. When I am using the keyboard to place the tiles and hit backspace because I mistyped, it does a backspace fine, but then it goes back to the previous webpage also. Very frustrating.

            I previously posted this:
            I have to drag each letter to the board rather than keying in the whole word.
            Also, my dictionary doesn't work.
            Since then the first problem was fixed BUT ONLY FOR ONE SESSION. Both problems still exist.

              I've played MANY games and this helps me practice.
              The only issue I have is if I press backspace, it doesn't remove my letter it acts like I used the browser back function...

                Most people commenting about word difficulty are, like me, frustrated with those words that seem to have been obtained with computer programs (someone said WG, but I can't find out what that means. I think I have a good brain and vocabulary, but some of the games are filled with words that are very specialized, and impossible to beat. Others want really simplified words. Is there any way that there can be levels of difficulty? I love being really challenged, so I'd rather it stay the way it is than be dumbed down, I just don't know how honest players can beat some of the extremely technical crazy games.

                  The dictionary only works sporadically

                    The board is displaying weirdly today. The letters have become seriffed (so less comfortable to read) and some of the info beneath the board has vanished. Maybe it will become back to normal later.

                      @Nell-Nelson the 'next game' feature has vanished for me, and so has the ability to see the AI's and last player's move. I'm using Safari. Which has always been fine up to now.

                          @lexulous Thanks for your reply. By the time I picked up, it was several hours later and the board had returned to normal. Next time, if there's an issue I will screenshot right away.

                            @lexulous I just played a 76 point word and Lex (puzzle mode - English) says I got 0 points for it.

                              @Rebecca-Grayson-Jaxon Sorry. It appeared on the next screen. Sometimes it shows up immediately, and sometimes it only shows up on the next screen.

                                @lexulous The game has done that thing again where the font of the letters changes, and when you move, there is no 'next game' tab, or record of the AI's move or previous player. I expect it will go back to normal in due course. But THIS time I have screenshotted before and after I played my word. All I have to do is work out how to attach the screenshot.Screen Shot 2020-06-09 at 17.40.45.png Screen Shot 2020-06-09 at 17.39.50.png Hurray! Have done that. The two screenshots are the wrong way round but you will work that out....

                                  @Nell-Nelson Thank you! This is helpful. We will get it resolved.

                                    @lexulous Putting in the new double check to ask whether player really wants to play that word is very helpful, thank you. It will stop me playing by accident when I just wanted to check a spelling....

                                      @Jean-Pearse The dictionary still only works for the 1st few words and then quits. Re-logging in doesn't help

                                        Hi there

                                        I can't see why I should have scored 12 less than the previous player on this game, though maybe something is just missing in my mental processing. I'm attaching screenshots. I played KOANS and scored 39. The previous played played SOAR in the same position, with the same A common to another word, and scored (according to what it said before I played 41) and according to my rating later 12 more than me. Does this make sense? Am I not seeing the obvious?

                                          @Nell-Nelson SOAK - under the K there is a double letter tile.
