Never play Burt Reynolds!

I know, I thought I had him beat on Saturday night, was 35 points up with one tile left myself, and he came up with a 7 letter word worth 68 points to steal the game! Batsrad!

As for cheats, they are easy to spot cos they come up with ridiculous words. I called cheat on someone recently (who shall remain nameless), because they came up with the sequence of words TUQUE, FEH, STRIPT, MHOS, CODEN.

The key to it all is knowing all the two letter words,cos they can score big time, like XU, ZA, QI etc, fuck knows what they mean but they do score heavily.

Never in yer life are any of them proper words :nono:

two letter words are the devil!

I was so upset that:

a: I had nowhere to place the word

b: it would have done me bugger-all good anyway

to everyone that suggested vagina, you are all idiots.

there's a blank

vaginas gets you a 50 point bonus.

It's because so many people are using it, I find if I refresh it usually works - 'hit and hope!'

seems to be ok now Jemm

Burt, Gaz - the game won't actually let you cheat. On a 'Regular' game, the words are either in the Scrab dictionary or they're not. If they're not, it won't let you play them. If it's a 'Challenge' game, it's up to you to challenge any word you think doesn't exist...

And I seem to remember someone playing Chinese and Arabic words in a FRENCH game... :laugh: :nod:

They were valid words, so I couldn't challenge them :cry:

Don't think I've beaten you yet. One close game, maybe.

Just wait until we play in Spanish... :nod:

Well I guess that makes me the class dunce then, I'd better get doing my homework. In my defence, I am only just finding out how the games work, tile colours, rules, etc.

Watch this space smart asses!

he's beaten me twice in row. :nod: Revenge will be meted out tonight.

Burt's trounced me twice, I believe that I've split the number of games with Chris and Jonathan. Haven't tried my luck with Gazza though.....

BTW, the last game with Chris has finally finished loading, looks like he'll take that one.

3 Dec 2007, 16:45

Burt and Chris are currently trouncing me :crazy:
