Scrabble Challenge FAQ

• The dictionary is wrong!
  The dictionary contains words from both the UK and US tournament lists, and is described on the how-to page. If you intend to complain about the contents of the dictionary, you had better be more knowledgeable on the subject than I am and have some constructive help to offer.
• The dictionary is still wrong!
  I will not even considering changing the dictionary unless you can convice me that you have a better (international) list, and can provide the complete list in electronic form.
  If you still object to the word list, please feel free to create an alternative game with your own lists and pay for your own virtual server on which to run it.
• The board and rack haven't been updated!
  You are probably looking at an old copy stored (cached) on your machine, or at your service provider. Try pressing the `Reload' or `Refresh' button on your browser. If that doesn't work, there may be a network problem between you and the web site. Check to see if you can access other (non-Scrabble) pages in my area. If you can't access them, there must be a network or hardware problem. I can do nothing at all about these, so there is no point in mailing me.
• I'm locked out! But I didn't play a word today.
  The Scrabble Challenge can only get a rough idea of where you are playing from. So when one player from a host (e.g. AOL or WebTV) plays a word, no other player can play from that host for 15 minutes (or longer if the word was rejected). Try registering your name.
• One of my duplicate scores is missing!
  Did you spell your name right? Try registering your name. Have you played in more than half the turns this game?
• I mailed you a question and didn't get an answer!
  I respond to almost all questions and most other email. If you don't get a response, your site may have been blocked for abusive emails in the past. Try sending a letter!
