@lefttoeshuffle What a stupid idea. How about you have some self control and not look at the eyeball if it bothers you so much? Some of us ARE interested in observers.

@lefttoeshuffle Wow, I didn't know admin did that. What did you say in the lobby? And having seen some of your drivel about things like covid vaccination, all I have to say is: Well done Admin!

I remember one time this person said she was censoring me because I "stacked words on top of other words." Not really sure what she meant but my point is that people censor for crazy reasons!

Oh yeah. there was another person who censored everybody who beat her.

I kind of agree with you about making censoring people invisible. This site used to at least show whether you had censored someone. Back then I would censor people who censored me (for no apparent reason) so I could see the censor mark and not waste my time clicking on their games!

@jrp32 I prefer to play real people who chat the most, but second to them I like to play real, silent people because the robots on lex are either too hard or too easy and at least in the past were almost non-strategic.

It surprises me how few people on here are interested in words.

I know this is minor, but it would be nice if we could turn off just the sound played when friends are arriving/departing. Some people come and go repeatedly and rapidly and I find the noise a bit annoying! (I guess if you wanted to get fancy, you could just play the sound once for each friend's arrival. I don't think many people need the sound for departure anyway?)

And before somebody suggests it, I don't want to turn off all Lex sounds!

Thanks.

@gardenern No, this was clearly a bug. The word played by the 2nd opp was directly on top of the 1st word. (You know, the star in the middle...)

Hi, I think it would be great if you used different sounds for friends arriving and messages received. I think people sometimes miss messages because it's the same.

This may be a bad idea, but how about the sound of an opening envelope for a new message?

Also, thanks for fixing that other thing I mentioned so quickly!

@roymccoy Hi Roy, there already is a shortcut to remove tiles placed on the board: hit escape.

As for suggestion two, I rarely want to look up words that way, so I don't care.
You might want to try https://www.onelook.com/ it's a lot more 'complete' than Lexulous's dictionary.

This is minor, but why don't you tell us when an opponent has disconnected or even just left the game? It's kind of annoying to type something after a game only to discover the person has already left.

@ruth-goodman I'm pretty sure that the Lexulous admins do not modify the accepted word lists. There is a committee somewhere that does that... And there are indeed many missing/erroneous words!

@roymccoy Approximately how many plays were made? I know people can delete games at the beginning but I don't think I've ever seen one disappear!

@roymccoy said in Score thermometer:

Can anyone confirm that the $1.99 version of the app doesn't (or perhaps does) have the thermometer? Putting it in the website version without putting it in the app was a dubious move, especially if it was anticipated that the thermometer would never be in the app. I can rightfully knock myself for not telling my app-playing opponent about it, but on the other hand our longstanding game of I don't know how many years may be over when I do – unless she wants to continue playing at a gross disadvantage and regularly losing. I won't be switching to a phone, and I doubt she'll want to switch to a laptop.

Roy, you might want to specify IOS or Android. It would not surprise me if the two apps are very different.

@dan-mitchell said in Move two word list:

@zaph Good point. There's a huge chunk of unused space underneath that tools tab graph to move it to.

The definitions themselves are all over the place though. It doesn't always prioritize the most common or logical definitions. If it's a word with multiple meanings, it will often bring up the most obscure definition available and ignore everything else.

Yes, I agree that the definitions are often lacking, but once in a while I find one very interesting!

(I finally remembered a recent one: "gul: a geometric, usually octagonal, design used in Turkoman carpets")

This is a minor issue, but I would appreciate it if you moved the two word list. How about moving it from the dictionary tab
to the tools tab?

At the moment, I often can't see multiple word definitions because the two word list is now taking up lots of space. Here's a screenshot:

There should have been another definition below zeta.

Thanks.
