I used to waste a lot of time playing games on the old site. I don't enjoy the new site at all, so I might be spending my time more productively in the future.
That's actually a good thing for me, though I suspect it was not the intended result.

"Honestly, the new version is a completely broken mess of countless bugs and missing features. An exercise in frustration. All I've seen so far is negative feedback in there. The best idea would be to employ someone to port the old flash version to HTML5 or whatever this new one is using. "
THIS. A hundred times THIS.
I find the new version clunky and unusable. The old site was fine, and the new site is pretty terrible. It's clunky and buggy. Even if the bugs were ironed out, the interface changes have made playing much less enjoyable.
I'm sorry if I sound entitled, but I will go play another game if the new site is the only alternative.
@Lloyd-Weimer-II I'll try the closed-group Beta Test.
@Dan-Mitchell You're probably using Windows 10. The computer I'm currently using is still on 7. Maybe that's the difference.
I'm using a laptop with a touchpad, so no mouse. I tried clicking in the list of games or list of players then moving on the touchpad but that does nothing.
I don't know where to report bugs and missing features.
I find the beta version to be discouraging. I can't even see the simple Win/Loss ratio of another player in their stats. I mean, there are plenty of new statistics, but where are the W/L, last 10 games outcomes, and list of stored games that is in the classic version?
I don't understand how to view more than 20-ish players in the "Play Live" list. I can sort to view the players with the highest or lowest rating, but I don't see a scroll bar that will let me see the full list. Similarly, there is no scroll bar on my computer for the "Join Game" list, so I can view five games.
This means the beta system is very limited in functionality as compared to the old one, at least on my old Windows laptop. Maybe it works better on a tablet or phone, but it's a mess on the computer version, at least for my setup.
I'll miss Lexulous when the old board is gone. I really did enjoy it!
Are we planning to ask for ALL derogatory words to be removed? How about commonly used profanity?
The set of words allowed in word games is normally a list of words that exist in the language, not a list of only the good and uplifting words.
I'm not arguing that anyone should use the verb form of "jew" in speech in polite society, but I expect all valid English words to show up in the game. That includes words that are derogatory or profane.
Not that it matters, but I am a capital-J Jew myself, and I've used the word in Lexulous. Not to endorse its use, but because I had the letters and it fit the game board.
Oversensitive political correctness is getting out of hand.
