LETTER SHUFFLE AND DICTIONARY

[Dio_Raven]

I am really enjoying this game. It would be great if I could shuffle the letters around to play around with ideas especially off turn, currently the only way to try out words or see the letters in a different order is by waiting for my turn then putting them in the box above.
Access to a search function to the dictionary it uses would also be great, a few times i have purchased letters intending to use them only to find the word (which is a real word, spelt correctly) was not accepted.

I agree with the dictionary. it's annoying and crippling to a strategic move.
I just had Lapst rejected, so had to use laps instead. It's a good game, but, that's the last game I'll be playing. The BGA dictionary is crippled

[Zwack_42]

What is Lapst supposed to mean, anyway?

And regarding the dictionary, does it contain english words only, or are other languages implemented, as well?

The dictionary is “American Scrabble” so I would think you could just open another tab and find a search tool to determine if your word is legal or not. That said it seems a little anti-competitive to search for words in a word game. Should be using your brain and acquired knowledge.

True, but it also means anybody who's not a native speaker is at a significant disadvantage. Of course, that's alsmost impossible to avoid with that kind of game...

You shouldn't play word games if you don't know the language used in the game...
