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.

there's always the option of a challenge game which takes away the dictionary.

I think the only way to resolve it once and for all is to have a heads up scrabble challenge at the next blonde bash  thumbs up

To be honest, I think I've detected who are cheating as their game has suddenly improved.

Tighty's been crap throughout, so I know he's not cheating.

I refresh constantly when I'm online and I do use the dictionary occassionally.

I play everyone on my friend list that used scrabulous. I have handed out some absolute tonkings and recieved some too. often off the same people.

I'm still loving it. keep the challenges flying

Blonde has some very stronger scrabblers

That solver thing is awful, it makes a mockery of the game. I have had "help" sometimes, but still lose. OK, here's a vow, no more! Meet Mr "3 letter"

Even when I used the anagram solver I lost, so I went back to being crap and honest

Using no more than 4 letters is fair enough...and I still managed a 50 point word with only 2 letters.  This new style of scrabble is fun.

OK - here's what I do.  I'd be interested in views on whether people think it's cheating or not.  Say I've got some obvious word endings in my rack - ing, ier, iest I will play about with the other letters and come up with things that seem like they might be words, but aren't ones I've heard off.  If I type them into the dictionary and it comes up green, I play it.  Good example of this just now in a game against Adam M - I had ISTGORS, with a free E on the board.  Once I'd taken away and IST to make a word ending with the E, I looked at what I had left and wondered if 'gorsiest' was a valid word.  Bingo.  So I played it.  It's not a word I know or would use.

Cheating or not?
