how the hell do you move letter?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 13 December 2002 17:48 (twenty-three years ago)

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 (twenty-three years ago)

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....

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 16 December 2002 11:50 (twenty-three years ago)

― DG (D_To_The_G), Monday, 16 December 2002 11:51 (twenty-three years ago)

haha, I am in the process of finishing game, Alan, but will disappear at 12.30 to our crimbo lunch, so I pH34r the new game will be a game that spans more than one day......

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 16 December 2002 11:53 (twenty-three years ago)

oh no, bandwidth used up, OH NO! (saved)

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 16 December 2002 12:11 (twenty-three years ago)

yes, I just realised that he means you can't challenge anyone to a game anymore. *Sniff!*

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 16 December 2002 12:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Y'all should try www.isc.ro. Assuming you don't want to have any free time in your life, obviously.

Aaaahahahahaha... SCRABBLE-related sports injury!

― Dee Dee, Thursday, 13 May 2004 02:01 (twenty-two years ago)

i like www.isc.ro (which I was introduced to here). I'm completely addicted. anyone wants to play me I'm WSHQ.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:22 (twenty-two years ago)

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 (twenty-two years ago)

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.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooh alright, I'll give it a go... I'm downloading the thingie right now!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Er, starry292. What dictionary do they use? I play SOWPODS and can access OWSI easily fer reference if need be...

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:33 (twenty-two years ago)

God this is wierd!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Man is it my go?!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, my tiles are rub!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh f#ck I might have to go to meeting in 15 mins - will alert if so.

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:45 (twenty-two years ago)

goddamn work! scrabble's never more fun than when it's illicit.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, I am not used to playing timed games, I am totally rushing out my moves here!!!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:47 (twenty-two years ago)

30 minutes is plenty of time honestly. no need to rush.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Right, person who I was supposed to go off with has gone off herself so reprive :)

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:50 (twenty-two years ago)

it's a pretty highscoring game.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, rubbish word, but I SO wanted to play LARDON!!!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, who needs VOWELS anyway.

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 09:00 (twenty-two years ago)

oh zoom and meta.

i'm quite proud of that. simple.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 13 May 2004 09:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Well done! Dude - I have just got my first vowel in about four turns! Sob! Talk about a closed board we've got going on here!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 May 2004 09:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Shit, got to go in 1 minute, can we pause games?

I play online Scrabble through Facebook. Anyone want to play an ongoing ilx game?

I am heather nijoli robinson on FB and youc an find scrabble here: http://apps.facebook.com/ea_scrabble_closed/?ref=ts

― Kelsey Glamour (Nijoli), Sunday, 7 August 2011 16:31 (fourteen years ago)

Please don't revive threads pertaining to Scrabble--I've been off the Internet Scrabble Club for three weeks. You just popped open a beer in front of an alcoholic.

― clemenza, Sunday, 7 August 2011 17:10 (fourteen years ago)

haha!

Second person arrives on the scene with a six-pack. (Just kidding--it's all up to me.)

― clemenza, Sunday, 7 August 2011 17:18 (fourteen years ago)

I'll play! and with anyone else who dares, as well.

― L.P. Hovercraft (WmC), Sunday, 7 August 2011 17:58 (fourteen years ago)

Haw.

I am now playing games with Crut and WmC.

I am starting a game with the two of you together.

ALSO, I started a game with Trayce, Ian and Laurel but Ian has yet to join it.

― Kelsey Glamour (Nijoli), Sunday, 7 August 2011 18:13 (fourteen years ago)

hmm, i don't see the invitation? i play facebook scrabs with pete & ade.

Skipping 104 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

And if you can figure out the logic that says "horniest" is offensive and "vibrator" isn't, you're way ahead of me.

― clemenza, Wednesday, 30 June 2021 01:46 (four years ago)

Gone: "boob."

I thought at first they were trying to grapple with a serious issue. They're not--they're eliminating anything and everything that someone might object to so they don't have to grapple with it. (Who except a nine-year old boy would find prurient meaning in "boob"?)

― clemenza, Saturday, 3 July 2021 22:07 (four years ago)

three weeks pass...

Gone: "hornier."

You can still look for an open 't' and "thornier."

― clemenza, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 15:36 (four years ago)

one month passes...

As I do every few years, went back to isc.ro for a month. One of the accounts I started two years ago was still active. Started out just above 1300, went up and down and dropped below 1200 at one point, slowly got back above 1300 and I think that's enough. (You get two ratings now: one for games of 4 minutes or longer, and a "blitz" rating for 3 minutes or less. There are a whole bunch of people who play 1-minute games now. I tried a few--insane.) Even at this level, I always felt overmatched. I regularly lost games where I had a big lead and then the other player dropped a bingo and other big plays right near the end. And you knew it was coming. They're like vultures; it's like they don't even want to win unless they come back from 100 points down. And the bingos...lost one game on "shylocks." (Yes: the other end of the spectrum from Pogo when it comes to offensive language.) Being a sore loser, I never responded when someone who'd just trounced me gave me a "good game." I hate that stuff.

― clemenza, Wednesday, 8 September 2021 03:25 (four years ago)

"Sequoias" on a triple-triple for 203 points (625 for the game).

― clemenza, Thursday, 18 May 2023 00:07 (three years ago)

lol pretty good. when i was about 12 i worked out that 'xylopyrographic' if played over three triples would get you over 1000 points but didn't get so many extra points from extending existing words - and xylopyrographic isn't in the official scrabble dictionary.

― ledge, Thursday, 18 May 2023 08:07 (three years ago)

(though xylopyrography is)

Are you on isc.ro?

― clemenza, Thursday, 7 December 2023 15:57 (two years ago)

no, i should be tho - that's what my homey [REDACTED] plays on mostly. i use the dumb scrabble phone app.

― ian, Thursday, 7 December 2023 16:02 (two years ago)

Too bad...can't help you there.

― clemenza, Thursday, 7 December 2023 16:20 (two years ago)

PATRONNE or gtfo

Steve - there was nothing on the board, it was my opening rack!

― ian, Thursday, 7 December 2023 17:10 (two years ago)

i can't think of a valid bingo for PANTONE but maybe you can.

― ian, Thursday, 7 December 2023 17:10 (two years ago)

negative.

This could be my highest scoring play ever: "quibbler" across a triple-triple for 239 points (189 + 50). Last play of the game...I was helped by this Pogo rule that allows you to take a blank off the board if you have the matching letter on your rack; that gave me the second 'b.' So a little tainted.

https://i.postimg.cc/xjwG4Nf6/quibbler.jpg

― clemenza, Thursday, 7 March 2024 04:09 (two years ago)

Scrolled back, and not my highest: "executed" for 262. Feels like "quibbler" should be higher.

― clemenza, Thursday, 7 March 2024 04:16 (two years ago)

four months pass...

I posted in this thread three years ago about how bizarrely arbitrary Pogo Scrabble can be about what words they allow and what they don't (e.g., "hornier"). Had a bingo tonight with "orgasms" (had never played the singular or plural before). Disallowed. I'm pretty sure most of the people who use Pogo are, like me, playing bots for free. Are they worried about people writing in and reporting themselves?

Played this yesterday to amuse myself, and also so I could take a screenshot and post that it was disallowed...Good! An Asian tree--never heard that even once in the past five years.

v satisfying end of game manuevering..
im down ~50 or so pts, play PIG, perpendicular to the triple word score… knowing the only letters my opponent has left are W, I, I
.. he plays WIG, maybe not checking what tiles i have left or thinking hes ahead by enough…
..I play TWIG, T on the triple word, and BOTH.. to go out of my rack, and win by 15 pts

― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 18 March 2025 22:27 (one year ago)

eleven months pass...

Had a 135-point non-bingo the other day (playing a bot):

https://i.postimg.cc/fyQ180K2/unmasked-135.jpg

"Mask" was already down; extended it to "masked" for the triple word, then realized I could also add "un" in front for a triple-triple. 15 points x 9 = 135.
