I'm playing a random opponent who has played the following words: fyttes, trigo, heder, pleiad, and my personal favorite, yttric.

I'm guilty of sometimes throwing letters in and seeing what works, but "yttric?"

Why are you even "playing?"

I don't usually consider short words cheating. Sometimes you've seen someone else play a word or you're playing around with letters. Multiple 7 lettered scores is usually a giveaway. Especially if you have lost a few games in a row.

Someone post a link to how to cheat at this game. Leash has been trying to get me to play and I need to fight fire with fire.

Letter placement can usually beat cheaters.

Well I've now had the word yttric played against me, but there's no way I'll ever play it.

If you're going to cheat, why make it so obvious?

BTW: yttric: of, relating to, or containing yttrium.

Obviously.

I play against my mom and she uses some pretty crazy words that used to make me pissed off. Now I am more careful what I leave
her with. My brother used to play about the same way. I would win maybe one out of every 10 games. Now I can beat my mom maybe
2 or 3 times out of ten.

I quit this terrible game in protest after my opponent began playing fake words like "hm" and "qi." I really do not care what anybody says, "hm" and "qi" are not actual words. I am convinced that this game incorrectly accepts tons of fake, made up words - much like those words from Killer V's original post. I will give you one hundred dollars ($100.00) if you can truthfully recount one single time where you ever used "yttric" in a sentence.

I will never play this game again.

i didnt know this app from 45 years ago was still a thing.

my wife and i would always play "qi" against each other when needed. i didnt use to cheat, but i would try random combinations until the app told me whatever thing i spelled out was a word.

Yeah you learn words. BTW, they have cheats built in now. Also, the swap without losing a turn option.

Well, you will never see me accepting any challenge to play this fake game because I have most definitely resigned from the members roll. William Shakespeare would probably lose at this rigged game. He would play normal words, and then his opponent would randomly insert various combinations of letters until he hits the jackpot with "Zyhnnuyj" on a triple word tile.

I cannot emphasize enough how disappointed I am in this game. First of all, there needs to be a time limit so people do not have several hours to punch in letters until the computer gets tired of it and accepts a fake word. If the was a 30 second clock, 95% of these phony words would never see the light of day. Am I really supposed to believe that Brittany in Indiana is so articulate that she is firing off 60 point words like she has an Oxford dictionary in her brain? Or Mel from Kentucky with the nose ring who rips off 45 pointers so by the third round the score is 187 to 25.

I only play it from my phone as a time killer with only two to three people. I actually tried Yahtzee with friends and like it more in part because of what you posted. Unfortunately, it hasn't taken off with my friends and randos are not as fun to play with.

I can't believe I had never heard of the word "stolon."

The branched stem-like structure of some colonial hydroid coelenterates, attaching the colony to the substrate.

Duh.

You must not have ever grown strawberries. That being said, there is no way I could pull the word out of my ass if I was playing a game.

I thought it was a creeping horizontal plant runner that at points sprouts roots thereby creating new plants.

It is. Botanically speaking.

And plants that grow that way are stoloniferous.

I still play with two friends from college. One is recovering from a stroke and needs to work on his skills. I've beaten him something like 183 straight games because he has no concept of board placement. I just play 3-5 letter words and wait for the TW squares to get in play. I don't worry about what he's going to play at all, I just let him work on his vocabulary. Once he came close to beating me because I had the worst tiles ever, and I won at the end because he got stuck with a Z while I got stuck with a U.

The other has a better vocabulary than me, but I can beat her by playing very defensively if I can get an early lead. If she gets 25 points ahead of me, I'm dead meat. I beat her when I can just throw tiles at the TL squares until I find a word which works, even if I have no idea what it means. I think a tile placement which doesn't work should cost you one point, I'd never beat her. We usually have scores in the low 300s because we're giving up bigger words to not get fucked on the next turn.

wordfind.com has a cheat. I have used it after the fact to see what I could have made out of a rack, but now they have the post-mortum built into the game.

Sounds like Words with Friends accepts Wildling vocab too.

Anyone who plays this game at least ten times or so quickly realizes that this is not about the depth of your vocab - it's all about placing high-scoring letters on tile multipliers and making two or three words in one turn if you're lucky. In fact, using long words can work against you if you don't pay attention to the tiles you're either using or opening up for your opponent. You sound like the type of player who would submit "adventitious" for 14 points only to then see your opponent submit "qi" for like 90 points because you left a TL or TW open above the "t."

You make valid points, but when you play using a cheat app that does all that for you, why even play?
