Well, you will never see me accepting any challenge to play this fake game because I have most definitely resigned from the members roll. William Shakespeare would probably lose at this rigged game. He would play normal words, and then his opponent would randomly insert various combinations of letters until he hits the jackpot with "Zyhnnuyj" on a triple word tile.
I cannot emphasize enough how disappointed I am in this game. First of all, there needs to be a time limit so people do not have several hours to punch in letters until the computer gets tired of it and accepts a fake word. If the was a 30 second clock, 95% of these phony words would never see the light of day. Am I really supposed to believe that Brittany in Indiana is so articulate that she is firing off 60 point words like she has an Oxford dictionary in her brain? Or Mel from Kentucky with the nose ring who rips off 45 pointers so by the third round the score is 187 to 25.
Anyone who plays this game at least ten times or so quickly realizes that this is not about the depth of your vocab - it's all about placing high-scoring letters on tile multipliers and making two or three words in one turn if you're lucky. In fact, using long words can work against you if you don't pay attention to the tiles you're either using or opening up for your opponent. You sound like the type of player who would submit "adventitious" for 14 points only to then see your opponent submit "qi" for like 90 points because you left a TL or TW open above the "t."
