CPU could have played VIN where I played AN at the end way before the end... so I guess it does not know VIN then (relating to wine I think - not vehicle identification number that's an acronym only I think). That would have made it score a few more points anyway. I wish there was a way to hack this...

Just watched it in German. Translation is right, Luftkissenfahrzeug voller Aale. I was mistaking a news report about military hovercrafts that was aired back in the days in Germany probably for a Monty Python episode. They were driving that thing through all sorts of terrains, marsh, small rivers e...

On page translate is good there yeah.

It's an excellent site!

I'll do a more detailed analysis tomorrow I think see if I missed any bingos etc.

I'm surprised to have won 4-0 anyway must be because I took my time over moves.

It would probably do much better if I turned on the time control stuff, wouldn't be able to post per move then, only after match reports.

Yeah looks top notch work, well done. (I also noticed the power pill timer seemed a bit off). If there's a pause you don't really need the safe zone implemented... I read how it's supposed to work but I'm sure it would still be possible to go around anticlockwise to reach Pac Man when in the safe sp...

Yup BEDS/DEX would have been very good. I will remember DEX now I think. I think EDS is fine too (editors), yup, checked, it is, so could have kept B for a hook there (but probably CPU would have played off EDS). AGIO good to know too, Speccy Deluxe Scrabble likes playing GIO a lot. I'm a bit scrabb...

gg Cheers. Now you see why it is so bad to play a vowel next to a double letter score (especially the one in the same lane as the triple word score), textbook example of how not to play well there from the CPU :) I did it once with my bingo, opened up triple letter score twice for X, but I got away...

I did the tiles remaining thing wrong. It only had V left on its rack. I played AN just to finish off. Final scores: https://i.postimg.cc/bvLMQ2wG/game4final.png I played AN just to taunt it with its V it could have doubled playing VAN there ;) Well that's a big win and nearly 500 points, that's ver...

what about LAR, an ape name or even CAR Yeah when I saw your post I immediately saw car. Think CUR is also good, gonna play that. It is good, not challenged. Scores 10. Just the invisible A left lol ;) https://i.postimg.cc/1X4Zgr05/game4rack18.png CPU plays UR. It's left with IVT so I will get +6 C...

CPU plays OBI, some kind of religious belief in West Indies/Africa? That might be capitalised though in which case there is another definition. From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]: obi n 1: (West Indies) followers of a religious system involving witchcraft and sorcery [syn: {obeah}, {obi}] 2: a religio...

I play TOM/MM since there is a very slim possibility CPU might have something there. Gets challenged, it's a variant of MMM, MHMM, etc. Scores big, 23. CPU taking a long time to think now https://i.postimg.cc/xCnfdmFc/game4rack17.png Will post CPU play when it finishes thinking It plays IF for 5. ht...

Play that for 47. I have AMCLU left on rack. CPU is holding IIINTRV which is not good lol ;) It doesn't know QI either. Might be able to score double the CPU lol, that would be a proper spanking. https://i.postimg.cc/ydmDQB2S/game4rack16.png CPU play to be posted here once it has a think Plays TIN a...

May as well finish this off tonight. HOUR/EH/WO looks like the high scoring play, probs gonna do that, scores 47. Might be something better but I doubt it, would need to also use the C. That was a bad play from the CPU. Maybe it doesn't know WO is allowed (what you say to a horse to make it stop I t...

what about TOUCH / MU later (after KOP) ? Yeah that's a good idea. Might even draw so I can play TOUCHIER or something. I'll play the higher scoring LOP/KOP/TO then... It challenges KOP. It's a hillock and the name of the Liverpool Football Club (*spits* - I'm an Evertonian lol) home fans end, famo...

KO/KO/ON scores 24. CPU plays the Q I suspected it had... QUALM for 16. Not good enough really but probably desperate to play it lol ;) https://i.postimg.cc/RCGrcyqs/game4rack14.png Tiles left on opponents rack or in bag AEIIILMNRRRTVW KOP/LOP/TO is looking good. I have POUCH on rack but nowhere to ...

I think ENE is the name of an African tribe. But names are not allowed right? Dunno. On my desktop PC (not this laptop) I downloaded the official 2019 list with definitions which you shouldn't do kids... buy a legit copy ;) I think there is an online version with definitions you can search. Website...

https://i.postimg.cc/7YyC2CGM/game4rack13.png CPU plays DAG/ENE/GEY. I thought DAG was not allowed looks like it is lol ;) Could have played it instead of BAG earlier (BAG scored more though) Think it is definition 2 here dag n 1: 10 grams [syn: {dekagram}, {decagram}, {dkg}, {dag}] 2: a flap along...

So CPU plays DA/AN/EN for 7. https://i.postimg.cc/jq1wdgK9/game4rack12again.png I want to open the board if I have a hook though. Only worry is if CPU bingos through 2 double word scores I suspect the CPU has a Q though ;) Looks like the rules are ALL words are challenged so I can look up AGEES I th...

Can't see much else, UNTO and GO for not much (11), for plays that don't use the S. Probably gonna follow my own rule and play ATONES/IFS for 33 since that's 20 points better than a non-S play. Probably do that in about 5 mins then (watch this space). Hmm maths was wrong it only scores 27... probabl...

Looks like the algorithm tends to clog the board. First sets of games were ok though. Once the board start getting blocked it can't work out how to deal with it though I think. Psion Scrabble is worse for blocking the board, especially on the highest level. It shouldn't be blocking the board when i...

DENY/AIN/NOY for 49. Good job I played safe - NUDY, ANDY, UNDYE all bad! AIN - Scots word for "own" as in "my own stuff" NOY - annoyance (also a verb) CPU plays GEES/BADE for 12 BADE - to make an offer of a price, to bid https://i.postimg.cc/L6SDv8g2/game4rack12.png Looks close t...

I'm gonna play PUN I think for just 5. There's no tiles in bag that can go before it except the S I reckon. Might have a few minutes more think time though. PAN is better, SPAN is still ok, still nothing in bag goes before it, gets rid of one of my As, leaves SUNDA. Go for that. CPU plays IO , AI an...

BEDS / DEX was ok btw. Dex = short for a drug. I'll try to use upper case now. ;) That will be the drug that Dexy's Midnight Runners named themselves after I am guessing ;) Can't see much again. Can't remember if AP is ok, think it isn't, can't see anything with UP to the triple either yet. I could...

Too late! I accidentally quoted and it had the red underline which is a bad sign. It was after I had changed though. CPU played SAP for 11 since I missed a go changing 4 New rack https://i.postimg.cc/vTFsCs75/game4rack10.png Still bad I think lol. Don't want to play all my vowels this go I don't thi...

BED/DEW for 19 CPU plays OB/OE/EE for 20. https://i.postimg.cc/xjJVYccY/game4rack9.png No vowels. First thought is change everything except NSR. There are a few low scoring plays don't think I can play more than 1 tile though... will have a better look though. If I can only play 1 tile think changin...
