Question: What would you like to confess to in the Scrabulous Confession Box?
I purposely start games with people I know I can beat.
I challenge people that I know seldom use facebook so that I can force a forfeit and boost my stats.
I utilise the dictionary and use words that I have never heard of.
I have, on at least one occasion, counted up all the individual letters on the board to deduce what letters my opponent is holding.
I have scoured the Internet for an anagram generator and utilised its services to place seven letter words.
If I am losing, I make my moves less frequenty.
I am a Scrabulous addict and often refresh the page even when I know the chances of someone having made a move since are slim to none.

I stopped playing Scrabulous when I discovered the location of the all-conquering scrabble cheat site - some of the plays I'd seen had appeared a little too good to be true.

Here's Charlie Brooker talking about Scrabulous - http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,,2142451,00.html

Blimey!!!  Didn't even know there was a board like that out there...just thought I was rubbish at the game.      

I did resort to finding a word generator to help out, but it doesn't tell you where to put anything...just a help when you're really stuck for a word with a rack of rubbish letters.

Well this thread has kinda killed off playing the game for me, with people using anagram programs and scrabble solvers what is the point?!

I may as well just play the pc!

I just checked out that board thingy, and to be honest...it would do me head in to be typing all those letters in for each person I'm playing!

I use the dictionary bit on the site and often look at the two letter words bit that is on there as well - had a bit of a shock with my first game on scrabulous and saw xi placed - I was like what the hell is that! lol.

I'm always refreshing in the wee hours of the morning but the only person likely to be online and playing is Snoopy - can you have more than one game with the same person running???  I'm in need of more nocturnal people to start games with  Grin

I think the stark voting options make it look worse than it is.  How many of us can honestly say we haven't used the two letter word list to see where to slot things in, or checked to see if we can add an 'e' on to the end of a word, even if the result is something we've never heard of?  To outright cheat would just be a waste of time and no fun at all.

Never cheated on it.  I put letters on the board itself to see if the word is accepted, but that's it (and that's not cheating).  Usually, it isn't a word though!  Xi is though, and Qi (i think).

Looking at the 2 letter word list can hardly be cheating, the actual scrabble board comes with one...

I don't mind use of the dictionary, it's when people crush the game with 7 letter words that I've never heard of that I sigh and ask what the point is.

no - but if you did it in a real game and you were challenged by your opponent and it transpires that the word does not exist then you lose the points and your turn.

Yep - but that's in the rules of scrabulous.  In a real game of scrabble people can't sod off to anagram sites and cheat!  Well they could...it would just be more difficult.
