@betterlate1 Reputation is a reliability score that is inherent in this board. When one is new one is limited because they don't want crazy people swooping in and posting all kinds of nonsense. One garners reputation points when another person, perhaps such as yourself whom I may have helped, clicks the "upvote" button to acknowledge the comment and show that it's helpful, useful, etc. It's a courtesy as well because if a person's taking the time for a complete stranger to help them, the least the stranger can do is acknowledge it in that small way. Kind of an Internet courtesy.

RE: Is this person nuts?
@betterlate1-0 Just a thought - if you want to contribute to a conversation, why don't you, you know, actually contribute? I asked some specific questions (which I read) and you have zero input on them. Take a look at my original post, look at the questions again and why don't you provide your two cents rather than get into all this other nonsense? Just curious if you're able to do that. I can see why you have been downvoted so many times. But do what you want ,I'm sure you will think I'm attacking you.

RE: Recommend addition/removal of words
@Paulo-Pereira Understand that the app developers don't define/determine word lists. There are associations who determine that. I often see people blaming these guys for words they don't like, but they have nothing to do with that information.

A Couple of Suggestions
The countdown clock in the new live rooms is so distracting and ANNOYING. I lost a game because I couldn't figure out what that was and why. Really a dumb addition. It was fine in the old room (10 seconds to go) so why make a countdown clock?
My second gripe is how the right-click doesn't undo the tiles on the board, IT MOVES THE SCREEN BACK A PAGE. Fortunately forward got me back into the game but this is something that worked fine for a decade, and now it's different. Is the non-flash version limited this way>
Finally, the adds are really bad. While I was trying to play this Florsheim shoe ad was popping in my face. Really annoying. And The add on this page is even blocking what I am writing so if there are typos, you know why. Big banner in the view blocking what I am trying to type.
Sheesh. -
Sound still turns off
Please make board settings 'remember' themselves. I have to turn on the sound every time and it's annoying.

RE: When you host a game, you always play second.
Who cares? Taken the effort? What does that even mean? It takes about a second to host a game

RE: Don't know why players block me. I play a fair game. What...?
@swimflower Yes it's hard to say why someone would do it, but don't take it personally. Who knows what's going through the person's head.

RE: I'll Volunteer
@betterlate1-0 "Running back and forth"? Is somebody persecuting you?
I have to say I do find it amusing (and a little paranoid) if you think I'm "running back and forth" between different profiles just to torment you. I'm regretting wasting any time giving you some of my insights much less creating a second profile and doing that. Who has time for that?
Again I urge you just to consider what I've said earlier rather than argue with me. Because I can tell you you are 100% wrong and if anyone is 100% wrong, something is off.
Anyway, I tried. Good luck -
RE: Sound still turns off
@thatguythere202 last time I played which was a few days ago it wasn't. But I will try again later today on my browser to see. And yes thank you Lexulous for the hard work!

RE: passing or swapping
I like having the "confirm pass." It's easy enough to accidentally tap that button and then you lose your turn. I have the confirm move score button turned off (that you can toggle on/off) and once in awhile I'll hit the wrong button by mistake.
But how about just giving us the choice and allowing us to turn that feature on or off?
(Referring to the android version btw, see screenshot)

RE: The man behind the curtain
@lolamoth Your initial assumption is incorrect. I rewrote it: The rule is that the value of the remaining tiles at the end is subtracted from their Move Score and added to the Move Score of the player who emptied their rack on the last play regardless of who wins.
And part of the strategy at the end can involve what tiles you'll be left with if the other plays out first.

Lexulous
I'd be curious to know when people started playing this game. I remember playing when it was called scrabulous and it was the same format as the famous board game. Probably 2007-08 on the website.
Because of copyright infringement they had to revamp the board and I'll just say they really got it just right. The size of the board and the letter distribution and the location of the increase scoring squares is all great. This is definitely the best word game out there. If anybody replies please mention the year that you joined and any other comments you wish to share. -
RE: Timer warning for both players
I'll tell you the sound itself is unbelievably annoying. It starts it makes this ticking sound and then it stops and starts again. Who thinks of this nonsense?

Game Tickets
When I'm playing a live game on android, I need to have game tickets in order to play. 1 ticket = 1 game. I acquire game tickets by watching ads and I get five tickets. Okay fair enough. But I don't when I want to play and I receive this message saying I am out of tickets (see photo) because I started games with non-responsive players - the game gets deleted but I still get charged the ticket. It should only be charged if I actually play a game.

RE: Timer warning for both players
@mapmakere I hope not. The warning it gives me is bad enough.

RE: What is the official rule for opponents not playing for 14 days?
@bonhi Yeah no kidding. Why are you telling me what I already know?

RE: What is the official rule for opponents not playing for 14 days?
@bonhi If the game is over, it's not available. I can't believe I know the game better than the developers.

RE: No moves
@cmgarciacm It's so rare it's not worth it. Part of the enjoyment of the game is to challenge us. If the computer tells us that, it eliminates part of that.
