Scrabble-like games

If people are always playing crazy words, I'll resign and let them win and never play them again. Why play if you're just gonna cheat.

Have to take issue with this. In what way is is cheating to play a word that is accepted by the game? Do you class it as cheating if your opponent plays a word that you don't know? Do you expect your opponent to ask you before he or she plays their turn to make sure you approve of the word?

I believe the person you are quoting was talking about players that play really obscure words with 5-7 tiles every single turn. Sure there are people that have a better vocabulary in their head, and may be smarter, however when you're playing an opponent that fires off huge and obscure words every single round that would be unlikely even for someone with a doctorate in the English language, then there's a pretty good chance you're playing against an anagram/scrabble solver app.

yeah i agree if person playing some really weird words ALL the time then they might be cheating. But i have played against player that are better then me that used weird words. Someone played GOX on me. (i dont suspect they are cheating)..So i had to look it up. LOL but now that word is in my head. So i played that word against my brother to win the game last night. :D Or word such as ZITI....never knew it but now i do.

I guess its kind of an 'evolution' process. The more i play the more i picked up on words i never knew. So i guess playing against a cheater you might pick up some vocab you never have before.

ps..i never played scrabble until a few months ago. now im addicted. :D

Where are you finding this. I went to eamobile and find scrabble for lots of phones but not android. I entered my phone number and it sent me a link to buy games for a BB.

What's up with this?

Did someone answer this question? If so, I didn't see it, I'm curious about the answer myself as I got the same thing when I went to eamobile. Thanks in advance for your input.

Most agreed. You can add me if you like. I'm not very good, but I certainly try my best to play a good game and I play to the end, no matter how much I'm losing. lol
