Need another day.

What we did last night did not work, we need another day to get this running.

There's no point in letting everyone try to play and face errors, so we're closing it for some more time. Please check back in tomorrow.

Any programmers with experience in load balancing please email fb.scrabulous@gmail.com . We can do with some support in that area.

Sorry folks ... trying our best to give you the best.

Because, and I know oyu're out there, his addict needs his fix. And, you never know, there's a chance I'll get a win rate approaching 50% at some point before hell freezes over...

Regarding placement, I tended to always resort to trying to block off the triple word scores, which tended to lead to rather low scoring games (and annoying folks).

I must say that I'm not fond of the "double word score for the first word" rule. I know it's a rule that's in Scrabble, but.. ah well.

I think it makes sense in that first word gives you less options, you can't build off letters on the board, you can't use any of the double letter scores right next to it, etc.

Haven't seen a noticeable advantage to first player on avarage, really; it's a lot more about who gets the triple word scores later.

Also?
