Not sure if "PASS" still is a non-confirmation, but if so it should be a toggle option under the "gear" options along with "Move Confirmation" (which is already there).

This note is just a thank you for making the BACKSPACE key act in a Lexulous manner when placing tiles instead of an OS manner.

@dan-mitchell, I think that the CSW19(Collin's Scrabble Words) is filled with contrived words and words that were originally not in SOWPODS because it claimed to forbid words by shortening, acronyms and slang and did a reasonable, if not complete, job of that. By contrived words, i mean words that are "made up" with the sole purpose of advancing play in word games. Where ZEN used to be used as an example of what were not playable words in SOWPODS, it is now a part of CSW19. ZE was recently added to CSW19 and I feel it is a just a matter of time before we see a two letter "V" word. Too many words of CSW19, show in the Collin's dictionary as "no definition
found".
I am still back with the TWL98+(and previous and successive issues of TWL --"The Word List") for US Scrabble and SOWPODS for British tournament play.

@lexulous, AND, when the play button turns green, it also has a colored edge on the right, which, when clicked, shows the word-to-be-played "strength" as a percentage. IOW, 100% is the best possible play determined and less than a 100%, not so much.

the "v2" is being whipped into shape but there are still things that do not work as expected or advertised. Two are --

1. clicking on "see more completed games" goes to stats.
2. the BACKSPACE key has no program override and respects the browser default of moving within the tab to the previous tab of that position.

cut from chat, i passed, but with the new "both passed" end-of-game on the count of 1, the game ended.... cut --
" "

@haftoplay, i have no idea, i am sure it is highly meaningful though.
Try https://forum.lexulous.com/users?section=sort-reputation
(which you probably have) for a global view......

@vickibma, i hope it is OK if i say I think you are taking this move strength thing too seriously. Just don't use it if you dislike it.
Unless your format is different than mine, you have to overtly ask (click on it) to see the move strength as it is. I happen to like it, and do fish for words if it is not high enough -- just like i fish for words that eventually win the game (and they may not be the highest "word strength") -- and did so before i ever knew there was a "word strength" indicator.

@sparks said in Recommend addition/removal of words:

I would like to see the removal of some letters.
Personally I find "V" and "C" very hard to work with.
Also I struggle with more than one "I"......

I think you have some excellent ideas here. Also, I would like to see the use of a dictionary composed of words that only i know.

Actually, i think this is a pretty ridiculous rule. I don't know, it may have been established for a good reason but i don't know it. i have many people with all zero stats join my table and i do not want to play them. therefore i delete the game. So yes, how many is "too many"?

I just got a word strength of "NaN%" . Beat that!

@lusciousgrape With over 4k games under my belt (you probably have more) i think you can disabuse yourself of that thought. The letter I is the biggest offender by far and i have done things like play 3 I's (INSIPID for example) and gotten two more I's in the next draw. On the consonant side, I will never forget the time I got two Q's in a game. (Lex offered to delete the game, but I asked them not to and played both Q's and won.)

@karinja said in Recommend addition/removal of words:

@jrp32 thank you. Who does affect the dictionary?

I really don't know. (Sorry)
Maybe someone else does.......

@karinja, i know i am beating a dead horse here, but:

1. The dictionaries used are illogical as to what "words" are and are not included. (Who wants to make the case for "CH" or "ZE" being words?)
2. Lexulous administration does not control what words are included/dis-included in them.

@lusciousgrape, sorry, but no.

@dan-mitchell said in [pass confirmation?] "... They have a 'move confirmation' toggle, so why not the other one?"

That is exactly why i said make it a toggle.

Not sure if "PASS" still is a non-confirmation, but if so it should be a toggle option under the "gear" options along with "Move Confirmation" (which is already there).

@altosing said in Games not arriving in my email:

Why have my games stopped coming to my email - they are not in spam - not arriving at all!

I believe that mine stopped when i chose to get notifications on my desktop.
