The NSC 'Words with Friends' Super League - Player Registration

[Simster]

Please spare me Bozza or Titanic.

And me, presumably, seeing as you have ignored my day old request for a game!

Ain't been on WwF in a while. Sorry darling, I'll accept in ein biBchen.

 

[Bozza]

I've just had someone (not an NSCer) play Wanigan against me. They messaged me to say they were stuck so looked and found it in the dictionary - it's something to do with a lumberjack. I asked if that was cheating. They replied it keeps the game moving.

They then played 'Trop' on a TW with the P on a TL for a score of 60 something. Trop?!?

The problem is sometimes if you're stuck...you are tempted to just try things...because WwF dictionary does seem to have a LOT of non-words in it.

Sure - I try things. But I can't believe many people would randomly just try Wanigan. And they admitted to looking in a dictionary.

Ahhh trusty "qi", got me out of many a bother on the battleground that is WWF

It also has many perfectly good words which it doesn't allow

Biscuit has given me a few words I never knew existed. Matza, Quaigh, Entia and Jehus - probably should have known the last one. I need to expand me vocab. Jehus scored Biscuit a cool 111 points!

Groups being drawn this afternoon!

I have to be honest, I'd call 'cheat' on that too. My vocabulary is pretty good I think and I've played enough WwF games to have many weird and wonderful additions, but those words above, particularly the first 2 with high value letters, would have me questioning my opponent.

I refute that! I just got lucky. I didn't have a clue and put words that looked nice. Very lucky with Matza! I've also put some bloody rubbish words down!!

I was PARTICULARLY aggrieved to have "zulu" turned down in one game, which would have given me something north of 60. I mean REALLY.

WWF is great, but Wordsmith on Android separates the men from the boys. You get 3 goes to make a word, fail and the turn passes to your opponent. None of this attempting-random-words-till-something-fits bollocks that WWF indulges.

 

[Mellotron]

Was gutted not to be allowed QATAR, as it was gonna give me a HUGE score.

 

[Notters]

But that's a proper noun! You're not even allowed "Jew", which I was rather pissed off about.

 

[GYM]

I'm getting well f***ed off with this game at the moment.

11 games and virtually all vowels in most of them. I'm getting royaly screwed over.

Yeah but it allows all kinds of bollocks, at least it's a proper WORD.

 

[Easy 10]

I wasn't allowed WOG the other day either.

 

[tinx]

WANKER is however allowed.

 

[Marc]

JUNE is'nt allowed, thats one I dont understand...Scrabble rules are confusing!

Zulu and co are near the top of my list of annoyances.

I like the sound of that Wordsmith, but not sure it will stop the dictionary cheats who just bosh out some random word at the first time of asking.
