@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 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....

RE: Lexulous 2020: Puzzle Mode
@Pangloss It was the best move so far. If you beat it, you are the best move so far. The machine can only compute what its algorithms allow and they don't take account, it seems, when you place tiles that allow words to be read in say three or four different directions. But who am I to say?

RE: Lexulous 2020: Puzzle Mode
@Pangloss The best move is the best the robot could think of. But it's possible to score higher than that surprisingly often. But not always.

@lexulous Thank you. I MUST remember this. How stupid am I??? (Don't answer that.)

RE: Lexulous 2020: Puzzle Mode
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?

RE: Lexulous 2020: Puzzle Mode
@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.
Hurray! Have done that. The two screenshots are the wrong way round but you will work that out....

@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.

RE: Lexulous 2020: Puzzle Mode
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.

@Sarah-Smith-Kornhaus Sorry. I don't know why either.
