Dear Lexulous;

I think many people would like to see the feature return where you can accept or decline a player to the game you are hosting. I know the topic has been brought up previously, but I see a new trend starting - someone joins someone's game, the person who joined plays first and makes a bingo on the first turn. Now the host won't take their turn (out of poor sportsmanship), and the game is automatically deleted. Then the host immediately posts another game, meaning they weren't just away from their screen. This obviously wasn't the original intent. A game being deleted because one player didn't make a turn could go away if the host HAD to accept a player. If they accept the player, that means they are in front of their computer. Also, we could decline people who we just simply don't want to join our game without having to censor them. Some people are friendly in the lobby, but don't want to be forced to play each other.

Also - for partners games, the general courtesy is that returning players get first dibs at the next game. Now, because we can't accept or decline people to our game, the host has no control over who joins the partner games. This allows for riff raffs to jump into the new game (even though they know better) and just say "this is how it is now". It's a rude act by the player, but could be avoided if the host of the game could accept or decline players who try to join.

Thanks for all your hard work on the site - it really shows and we all appreciate it!!!

@thatguythere202 omg preach on!! we need this back. This way we don't have to censor people that we actually speak to in the lobby, but don't like playing with. Sometimes there are players I just simply don't want to play, so I don't accept their games and just pretend I was away from computer when they tried to join. I'm like, "omg, I was letting the dog out", or "wow sorry, had to take a quick call when you tried to join" or something. When in reality, I just don't like playing them, but don't want to hurt their feelings. Many people on here are overly sensitive to being rejected. But I digress... yes would love to see the return of this feature. Thanks to the awesome Lexulous admins on all their work and dedication to making Lexulous The PREMIER online word game site!! 🤟

When a player challenges you to a game, is there a way to know how long the game is? I have not figured out how to determine the time of the game when challenged. I just end up declining everyone who challenges because I don't want to get stuck in a long game.

yes... i am so used to the backspace button removing tiles from the board and putting them back in my rack. This is extremely helpful - especially for those of us who like to play fast games. I would love to see the backspace undo the letters typed onto the board again. Thank you!!

@betterlate1-0 The fact of the matter is, a sheep's wool is harder to control after 3 or more years of syrup. Sometimes, it is true that, people can jump without feet - even though a certain expectation is considered irrelevant. But fortunately, for all of us, whenever there is a a hint of a shadow, broccoli can be the best solution.

Awesome!! Now you can talk to yourself like some of the wild animals in the lobby do.

Sorry you are blocked out Dan. But hey, at least there is confetti when someone bingos! Look at the bright side!

@gardenern Completely agree! It's a very distracting sound, and sometimes people refresh over and over again. Before, there was a line of red text in the lobby when a friend arrived, no noise. I think this would be perfect!!

@lexulous yay!! yₒᵤ dₐ bₑₛₜ!!

@thatguythere202 actually, you are right, there was a faint 'ding' noise when friends arrived... but it wasn't distracting while playing. The noise now sounds kind of like the old noise that lex made when you got disconnected. So my guess is for us players that have been here a while, when a friend arrives, it's more distracting because the sound is reminiscent of being booted. Maybe we just need a new sound. idk

Sorry you are blocked out Dan. But hey, at least there is confetti when someone bingos! Look at the bright side!

muchos agreements here. i hate the confetti, personally. If it were optional, i would definitely disable that nonsense.

Hi Admins,

Recently my name was changed to ginas.

@betterlate1-0 That is great advice betty! You should heed that yourself since you often accuse me of cheating when I win. I have always told you to stop accusing and practice more, and maybe you'll get better too. I am glad you are trying to pass that along to others. I do ask that you follow your own advice.

@mapmakere what a buffoon

No, but fuck is.

Yes, for once I agree with Betty. We used to be able to adjourn a game if someone had an emergency or needed to step away. We could stop and save the game to resume later. This was a great feature!!

As an update, Wie has reportedly got a new computer and will be back soon!!

@dan Yes, that was the plan to get the hashtag trending. I don't think it worked though. Wie is popular, but not Britney popular.

@lexulous She says she has reached out but is still unable to log in. That's why I was wondering if there is some type of setting on the admin side that could prevent someone from logging into the site. I will ask her to reach out to you again.
