Big changes at Scrabulous/Lexulous

Note to self: twickster is out of practice and vulnerable…

Hmmm. Cool.

One thing I hate about the WordBiz one is that you can do increments, but only in minutes, no seconds. So most ppl play without increments and ppl tend to run out of time way more often.

It was interesting hearing about the whole situation (Hasbro/Scrabulous/Lexulous) on NPR this evening at dinner. I don’t know that anything profound was said–given that we were eating dinner and chatting a bit as well–but it was interesting hearing discussion about how people react to changes from “real” Scrabble.

Mrs. Plant listened to that; they said that humans (not, of course, criminey.jicket) can’t deal with eight tiles.

Hey, I could have told them plenty of players have bingoed my butt with 8 tiles. :stuck_out_tongue:

I started “anagramming” way back in the day by doing Word Bowls in the Dell puzzle books. You unscrambled 10 letters to make a 10 letter word, plus make 2 shorter words using the same letters only once.

Maybe it’s my building style. I set aside the longest ending I can see, like -IER, -ATE or -IEST, then I’m only dealing with building a 4 or 5 letter root word.

Sweetie, “vulnerable” is a relative thing when it comes to me and Scrabble. :stuck_out_tongue:
