Plebeian!

>Implying she's finished yet
here's your reply
>>43449345
Personally I'd have gone for 'easily'.
>>43449432
the A gives you more points for the bonus square than the L would.
>>43449490
A is one point, in what way would it give you more points than anything?
>>43449490
I was wrong. They are the same.
Also, easily and play give the same points. Splay is objectively the best option.
>phone a friend to play run ms
What does it mean?
>>43449525
What's that tile that the e would go on, though? I'm not that familiar with the scrabble board? Is it a double word score or something?
>>43449525
Due to the double letter score Splay and Easily would both be 10 points in that position.
>>43449525
>>43449613
Oh wait, actually, that's a triple isn't it? So it would be 11 for easily.
>>43449613
Yes, it's a double, but the L from easily and A from splay will both land on it; both are worth 1. So easily will come out to 11, but splay will come out as 12.
>>43449683
Triple, shit. It's a triple, meant to correct that before posting.
>>43449704
I was talking about the other triple, the one the first letter of Easily will reach because it's one letter longer than Splay. I'd actually completely forgotten there was a second one after the second to last letter of the word.
this is the best thread on /tg/ right now
>forgetting that 's' allows easy pluralization of most words for maximum punishment play, or to prevent yourself extending boardstate so your opponent hits bonus tiles
Scrubs.
>>43449704
To show you what I mean, a handy visual aid.
>>43449829
Oh shit, I didn't even see that one.
Maybe this is why I always lose at Scrabble.
>>43449345
>Plebeian!
not plebeians
m-m-m-missplay
>>43449829
How many points does playing spiel off of dorms net?
>>43449870
There is no such thing as a misplay. Only bad decisions. "Misplay" is a word used by the unofficial fanclub/circlejerk of "OH SO MLG" to make excuses for their poor skill.
>>43449894
That'd be 16 I believe.
>>43449345
>Not playing 'Ialpsh' off phone for the triple word
Get your shit together, Claire.
"splenial" off the "n" in "run".
78 points.
>>43450620
Winner.
>>43450620
Then you'd have to justify the word "splenial" to the family.
>>43450620
Nice one anon.
My family would call bullshit though. No way it would get passed unless the designated moderator happened to be in the know on reptiles.
>>43450620
This is why no one plays scrabble with anon.
>>43450620
>mfw it's real
>>43450620
Good work.
>>43450620
You're such a lovely person, Anon.
>>43450620
>setting up for the easy triple word score on the middle-right
Nice try, Matt
>>43449345
Personally, I'd be more concerned that her opponents tiles are just hanging there and she's not looking at them. She's going to lose regardless of her word choice, because victory goes to the ones without honor.
>>43450620
splenia is best both for score and for strategic board value
>>43451426
The family could challenge it. And then lose a turn when the word is legitimate.
>>43450620
>splenial
Congrats, Anon. You know how to use anagrammer.com
Alright /tg/ let's get this started
Your move
>>43453615
Squid
>>43453615
Is DAFUQ a word?
>>43453664
i'm going to say no. sorry
>>43453615
I'd start with "FAD" and hope for QUEST on my next play to utilise that Q, E & T should be easy to come by.
>>43453653
>actually using Q without chance to double
>>43453734
>double word score is guaranteed from the star square
>>43453716
>>43453653
make a choice soon. also how do you want it aligned?
>>43453752
Damn, that was left out from our localised rules, I had no idea.
>>43453803
How odd, I know at least one copy I've seen very emphatically states it when describing how the first player places their word.
Squid?
Also, goddamn it, I love this board and at least some of the people on it.
>>43453764
Squid, double the Q, alignment doesn't fucking matter because the board is symetric.
I'm playing you guys against against a scrabble AI
/tg/:34
AI:38
>>43453903
Also the best scoring move you could have played to start was QUADS
>>43453903
Pibroch? Seriously?
My first thought is putting 'Form' vertically to get a double letter bonus on the 'F' and 'M', but there might be better choices also.
>>43453903
FOCAL
>>43453903
FOCAL for 2w ?
>>43453903
Roman.
>>43453903
BASAL using the S at the start of squid.
>>43453994
we only have one A
FOCAL currently has the most votes and the highest word score of the words mentioned. I'll give you a few more minutes to make a final decision.
>>43450620
Given that splenial is a word that describes one specific bone and nothing else, wouldn't that make it a proper noun and thus invalid?
>>43454053
No, because that's not the proper name of the bone.His proper name is Jeff.
>>43454053
adj. Relating to the splenium, especially describing the pair of muscles, at the back of the neck, that move the head and neck
/tg/: 58
AI : 89
the highest scoring move you could have made was LANDFORM
Your move /tg/
>>43453903
Roam going down off pibroch.
>>43454143
headsquid.
>>43454164
sorry HEADSQUID is not a valid word
>>43454143
What difficulty is this on?
>>43454210
The AI i'm using has no difficulty setting. so assume unfairly difficult.
>>43454143
BEDLAM?
>>43454220
Can we do OMAN off the O in PIBROCH?
Why do we have 8 letter tiles? Shouldn't it be 7?
>>43454255
yes it is possible 23pts
>>43454228
26pts
>>43454276
this isnt actually scrabble its lexulous, its basically scrabble but with 8 letter tiles and the word multipliers are laid out differently
ABODE off the A in WAFERY and O in PIBROCH.
>>43454459
36 points the best so far. unless anyone has anything better in the next few minutes i'll play that one
>>43454413
As the suggestor of Oman, I say we do that over Bedlam, as it makes it harder for the bot to hit the bonus tiles.
>>43454459
I meant ADOBE. I'm a dumb.
>>43454488
Adobe is a company, it may be illegal.
>>43454512
It's also clay building material. Just because a word has a proper noun definition doesn't invalidate the normal word.
>>43454512
Adobe is a kind of clay/mud used to make buildings in parts of New Mexico and the rest of the Southwest region of North America.
>>43454512
Adobe was a word before Adobe the company used it you fucking idiot.
>>43454552
Ahh. I was unaware of the material. Let's do it.
Ok, i'm going with ADOBE
>>43449936
to be fair, there are only so many times an announcer can say
"HE FUCKED UP."
"HE FUCKED UP AGAIN."
"HE HAS NOW FUCKED UP."
before he starts sounding like lincoln in a theater.
Gotta mix it up sometimes.
So ADOBE was not accepted, because EBH is not a word. However ABODE uses the same letters, has the same score, and is valid.
HANDYMAN was the best possible choice with 65 points ABODE was 2nd best with 35.

Let's go with Mare, over by that Y.
Or wait we're playing golf right?
>>43454732
a) You played it the wrong way.
b) You don't have to use all of your letters to get the "bingo" bonus? I'd have suggested HANDYMAN myself if I'd known that.
>>43454767
a) that was my bad, i fucked up.
b) the Y in handyman is on a 3w tile, so i believe that is where the 65 points comes from
>>43454813
Bonus tiles only apply the first time. Unless lexulous is retarded.
>>43454732
HA under the EX of TELEX. Make it work for each bonus.
>>43454732
Let's play HA under the EX of TELEX making HA, EH, and XA.
>>43454732
THAN, with H on the triple letter?
>>43454834
Motherfucker. I update you for five minutes and you don't post, but now after I become delusional and think I didn't post you in the first place you appear. God I hate phones.
>>43455018
It'll get the triple off your 'n'.
>>43455018
Are you actually retarded?
>>43454991
Pretty sure XA isn't a word.
>>43455063
>>43455063
No, but Ax is.
No wait that needs an E.
>>43455063
XA is an accepted scrabble two letter word.
>>43454675
>before he starts sounding like lincoln in a theater.
>>43454813
Is XA a valid two letter word in knock-off scrabble?
Ded thread scrabblord?
