Previously in a posting on this message board by "anonymike" some time ago, he said, "...if a trip is blocked or something, then you can cancel"[the game], in reference to expert games. Is there a DIFFERENT set of rules for expert games and regular games? In other words, why is it that the "experts" do NOT have to continue with a game that is not going too well or with one that has been messed up with wasted "esses" and blown trips? (They can and do cancel them.) I failed to find this distinction in the rules, whereby the experts are allowed to cancel a poor game and not waste their time playing a messed up game, and yet in the regular games a game simply must be played out even if it has a lousy start, i.e., the esses are all gone by the 7th or 8th word played and the trips are all used up with low scoring words.
So, ARE there TWO SETS of Rules? If so, where might they be posted so that I and my friends can familiarize ourselves with the different versions. Thanking you in advance for the clarification. |

i hate to see even the games that are somehow messed up - being stopped just because.
This is part of the challenge online to create whatever from however.
Even the regulars who can't seem to get it :-) or seemed to get sometimes but fail miserably at other times....i love to try and outwit them etc.
Sometimes even I diliberately play badly in an attempt to get them to up their own playing :-) :-) AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT SOMETIMES :-) :-) |

Going through the archived games - there are a LOT of games with full trays of letters that have been ended... and do games automatically end after 11pm pacific time? It seems every night around now, all of a sudden there are a handful of new games when I didn't remember that many ending soon. (and there are archived games that read 0K / blank- do they show up later?)
Still new to this. :) |
