Cool! New one on me.
Think I’ll master this one first, though. I’m enjoying the challenge of balancing getting words in and letting the string run out far enough to do some nice long ones.

What the deuce was I supposed to do with those two bloody P’s left over? 
…
I don’t think I am going to share my scores.
960 points- I have no idea why ‘jeans’ scored so much. It seems like the assignment of points to letters is still evolving:

* +37: feuds. 17 Points +2x Word Length. +1.1x Multiplier.
* +14: pied. 9 Points +1.5x Word Length.I’ve investigated the scoring system a little more, and how the game works.
You are allocated 75 tiles in total from a ‘bag’ of 555 tiles.
Each letter scores an amount that is inversely proportional to how common it is in the bag. For example, there are 65 letter ‘E’ tiles, but only one ‘J’, so ‘J’ scores 65 times as much as ‘E’.
Word scores are rounded to the nearest integer value, then the multipliers are applied.
Here are the letter distributions and scores:
Letter Dist. Score
a 45 1.45
b 13 5.02
c 20 3.26
d 23 2.84
e 65 1.00
f 8 8.16
g 16 4.08
h 14 4.66
i 42 1.55
j 1 65.29
k 8 8.16
l 31 2.11
m 16 4.08
n 32 2.04
o 34 1.92
p 16 4.08
q --- ---
r 40 1.63
s 52 1.26
t 32 2.04
u 20 3.26
v 5 13.06
w 7 9.33
x 2 32.65
y 10 6.53
z 2 32.65
I was gonna do that…hehe.
Glad you got to it first
I was pretty sure the J was the big scorer.

I think the Holy Grail in this game would be to finish with the word JAZZIER. Assuming a 2.5x multiplier, this would be 1275 points in one go!

Jazzlike would be better btw.
Ah, so it looks like the game doesn’t keep track of what letters have gone already.
1325 points! But it was a ridiculous game- it gave me three Js:
* -2: i. Letter not used.

* +45: counsel. 15 Points +3x Word Length.I’m amused by the game’s dictionary. “Meme” is not a word (it killed a promising game), but “boite” is.
So, most surprisingly, was “c*nts.”
Meme has never been in any dictionary i have used,however boite and cunts have been in nearly every one, FWIW

Not quite the numbers you guys are putting up but not bad for my first try!
I like this game but it doesn’t seem to realize that some words are…well, words. Jow is a word, for one thing. So is cee! Grrr, I like my scrabble rules.
It wouldn’t let me use “booers,” dammit!
Nor cee nor dee. But tee is a word. Huh.
Golf gadget, whereas the others are only letters.
Zig and zag aren’t words. Neither is zit! Or emu! Why?!
Well, there’s two hours I’ll never get back.
Think I’ll go play some more.
