@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 What an odd complaint!

To be honest with you, lexulous looks pretty good to my eye-- way better than another word game site I'm on.

Except for the avatars. I find a lot of them to be pretty awful.

@pangloss said in Cheating?:

I'm curious what people think of this. I'm playing a person whose rating is 1907 (mine is 1904). During this game he played the following bingos:
OVERLATE
EFFULGED
POTATOES
LABORER
COYNESS
I got one, CONSUMER.
In addition he got a lot of other good plays so his final score in this game is over 550. Personally I think there's an element of luck that some people have that others don't. But here, my instinct say the person is cheating. I'm curious what other people think.

The only odd word he played was EFFULGED, which is pretty out there imo.
Some would disagree, but I would look at his bingo list and see how often he plays crazy
words to decide whether he was a cheater.

There are plenty of non-cheaters in this world who can get 5 bingos in a game.

I'm sure somebody else has already asked for this, but WOW:
the player who goes first should be random! Obviously the person who goes first has an advantage because they hit a double word score. As it is the person who joins your game or rematches you goes first; this is unfair.

Thank you.

Come on people, let's keep asking for this until they fix it!

@mapmakere said in Wait versus Delete?:

@zaph I know that if you delete too many games in too short a time, you get a window saying this. I can set a table but no one can join nor can I join someone else's.
I don't know what the magic numbers of deletes and time are, but the other night I deleted 3 in an hour or so, and was unable to play for 12 hrs.
This doesn't answer your question; it's more a warning about deleting.

Interesting, I forgot about that weird temporary ban.

Personally I think they should make that trigger a lot higher-- like if you delete more than 1/3 of your games you get a warning, etc.

@vickibma Can't you just ignore the play rater thing and play as usual? BTW I seriously doubt that many other players want to have to agree to such a weird, minor setting before a game... And people on this site have always fished for words before playing-- they just looked at how many points a possible play would be.

I think what she's talking about is not the points in a game but rather her global tally of bingos ever played.

@carol-ann-nasta said in Bingo credit- I have to wait days to get it. It should be counted as the word scores are:

@zaph don't contact me anymore. it's starting to sound like harrassment.

I think you replied to the wrong person?

@pangloss said in Bingo credit- I have to wait days to get it. It should be counted as the word scores are:

@zaph I think it's a spaceman. The artist is Allen Linder

Thanks, interesting.

@thatguythere202 You are behaving professionally- the 1st one I've encountered here to do that.

Does anybody else think it's hilarious that the person who says Thatguythere202 is behaving professionally is the same one who said "You are a nasty MFer. Speaking of clueless didn't you understand that I said I want no more contact." LOL
