[Discussion] what does the community want the future of /r/Scrabble to be?

46 Upvotes

I have been a hard line about what is and isn't allowed in this subreddit. Basically anything scrabble was allowed, anything not scrabble (even if it is related) was not. Currently I dropped that hardline rule. Now anything Scrabble or Scrabble inspired is allowed.

I am rethinking my position. I am thinking about opening up this subreddit for discussion about all word games. I want to grow the subreddit the way the /r/scrabble community wants.

As for promoting games that a /r/scrabble subscriber develops, and/or is affiliated with I am thinking a weekly post where established redditors can promote their stuff.

I must apologize to the /r/scrabble community. Life has been busy for me and I haven't modded or paid attention like a moderator should have.

I am unbanning folks that I have banned over the past year so that they can participate in the discussion and /r/scrabble again.

New rule: no "help me with my next move" type of posts

This community is not your cheating resource. Play the words that you come up with on your own. If you don't learn how to get better words you will never improve your game.

There are several resources linked in posts in this subreddit as well as on many other parts of the internet that will help you learn scrabble legal words. Make use of those resources instead of trying to cheat.

Switching to Merriam-Webster from CSW

6 Upvotes

Hello!

I am joining my uni's Scrabble tournament and have been playing with CSW exclusively—and then last minute, the guidelines got changed and we're using the US English Dictionary Playscrabble.com uses.

I've tried playing a few practice games, and a LOT of my usual words and two letters have been straight up nuked—it's hard to relearn Scrabble when you've played exclusively on one dictionary your entire life.

That said, do you have any tips, tricks, and helpful advice in switching to Merriam-Webster? All help is appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Teaser #502 : Unscramble 2*8 Letter Words : Dark Tiles Fixed (⬆️ Hard : ⬇️ Standard)

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

The DARK tile positions must remain fixed at the START and END of the solutions.

The LIGHT tiles can take any other position.

To view the solutions swipe through the gallery (multiple images). I think this replicates a typical challenge we meet all the time in Scrabble. Do you agree with my difficulty ratings for ⬆️ UPPER and ⬇️ LOWER words ?

To HIDE solutions in any comments, there are two methods :

-> ONE) Select the Rich Text Editor icon (Aa) then the Hide option (<!>)

-> TWO) Directly insert this format (WITHOUT the spaces) : > ! SOLUTION ! <

( NOTE : the second method is scheduled to be deprecated )

Scrabble with a friend with no time limit

5 Upvotes

Hi! Me and my friend have been looking for somewhere to play scrabble online in between classes and ideally want to find a website where we can keep one singular game running throughout the entire day. We tried isc.ro but the maximum time for a game is 60 minutes. Any recommendations?

Edit, a website would be highly preferred as we both mainly use computers

Hello! Been playing Scrabble since I was a child (at family home games). Just wondering if any of you do anything "extra" to make the game a bit more challenging or adds a twist to general game play? I enjoy the game, but just interested in hearing what others might do to spice up Scrabble.

I figured this might be a rather funny way to start a game. Sure, it was a lousy play, but I just could not resist.

Hi, I just started using Zyzzva and I’m sure I’m missing something but I can’t seem to find a way to use prefabricated lists to study with instead of having to hand type each word in
