Just wanted to say how much I enjoy Scribble.  My hope is to make the best word/score that I can whenever I play, and I wish that I could learn more of the more unusual words that I see played.  Too often I don't remember them.  So far my personal best used two triple word scores and netted around 200, so that's kiknd of thing I'm aiming for whenever I can.  
forgive my slow or stupid plays, I try to do the best I can.
Updating word list

I see Tom still reads some of these and hasn't left the site on autopilot.

The How to Play section says that the site uses the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, 3rd ed. It's not news to most of us that that's not all it uses. The names of all the countries of the world seem to be good, for example, and abbreviations like tv.

So how much work would it be to get the new words from the 4th ed. added? I have gotten used to QI and ZA now and miss them here. Also, O to go with A and I.
Another "For Old Times Sake" Game :)

I don't know about you guys but I'm so tired of trolls messing up the games.I'm trying to learn and I know I make a lot of mistakes, but not on purpose. I appreciate the support that you have given me.What do you do when they are playing?Do the best you can with what you have or try to stop them? Or do as they do? Thanks, for listening just upset I guess.I know some of you are not playing as much and I don't blame you.
can't end the game.....

"uncaught exception..." is showing on game 1 - so quite probably it's another overloaded cache problem coming up on any on last letters scenario

I have been playing scribble for approximately 8 years.  In the last year or so I have quit because of the trolls.  It is to frustrating for me to play as I watch the setups destroyed.  For this level of play, I can play scrabble at home with my 9 year old.  
Muddle up - er, down - um, up

Muddle went to 18.2% yesterday, then went back down to 18.1% -- Fizz is getting better, but mostly scores below 18% (not a criticism, just an observation -- I score below 18% sometimes, depends on the game & what I see).

It was at 18.1% again this morning, but has now gone back up to 18.2%, so we're very close, just need to get enough games over 18% to keep it there.

We can't end the games, Tom -- getting the "uncaught exception" error message.

Thanks for fixing the archives!

Tom,

The last 2 archived games show as 0k and don't open.

When you get a chance, can you fix the archived games?

Thanks!

Dear all I thought you may find this site interesting, it’s a new game of chess that is being developed and the originator is looking for comments on the playability of the game, also if it is relevant to today’s players.
