It's and it rocks!

Just invent a login and away you go. I appear to be the only person not using a daft alias, but never mind.

Challenge me, I need to stop feeling smug with my 100% record....

oh no, my best move right now is to play TWO of those dubious 2-letter words. they are perfectly legal by the book, but... and a triple word is involved. the ethics of this are dizzying.

(I'm sorry I may have posted this before)

Here is the official line (taken from a readme from my own scrabble game for RiscOS!)

The valid two-letter words always cause arguments. According to the makers of
the Scrabble® game, there are a 109 2-letter words that are acceptable in the
British English version of their game. Interestingly, though there are only 96
in the North American version, it is not a sub-set: there are 12 extra words
not in the British English version (AB AG AL DE ED ET HM MM OP PE UH YA).

The only significance of the lowercase words is that they are deemed 'commonplace'.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 13 December 2002 17:48 (10 years ago) Permalink

Er, at the risk of sounding like the biggest fool in the universe, do you have to do anything special to see the board? I accepted a challenge and couldn't see a board or any tiles or anything so I hit "In Progress" on my game and got an ODBC error. Hrm. Shame, I might have got as horribly addicted to it as I was to Wordox a year or so ago...

(I should email the admin guy, I guess, but I don't do email so never mind.)

― Rebecca (reb), Friday, 13 December 2002 21:43 (10 years ago) Permalink

er, try it again now Rebecca. I just looked at it and its fine. The guy who set it up mentions that it's a beta versh & that there might be bugs.

Just restarted our game from Friday, Alan, if you want to continue....

Um, I'd like a game, but I'm at work so there could be long pauses whilst I um, ~~hide from BOSS~~do stuff, answer phones ect, is that an issue? Do they time games?

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:26 (9 years ago) Permalink

Games are timed, but I find (I am at sortof work at the moment) that a 60 minute game (30 minutes each) is plenty of time, allowing for bos interruptions.
