Subject: does word wizard have a sense of humor?

I've been struggling for a week with terrible letters.
But having got to a point where I could see light at the end of the tunnel Ive had 11 letters three times in the past few days.
My 12th letter when I was looking for an 11 letter word has been first Z, then X, then J.
Each time I clear out the *** killer letter in a four letter word and go back to try again...but it really feels like the system is mocking me. And yes I expect the Q any moment now.

And the next letter is....another I IIEIII. Read/em and weep. Would be really interested for others to post their experiences of letters so I can be convinced it IS personal on WW's part and not a flaw in the system. Reply #141. Jun 25 20, 7:17 AM |

Well seen as you asked, I did have 5 E's not long ago, I simply switched some out, the word I made must've been too humdrum to be bothered remembering, seen as I can't recall it, however there was one time, i significantly remember, to be honest I thought I would've forgotten about this by now, but evidently it was just too horrendous, I remember my board was definitely full of 12 letters, because I thought to myself, "how could such an awful combination even exist from 12 letters?" and I remember I could only make a 6 letter word, and the letters I had left after that were "QAXAYA", which I thought, could be the name of a hybrid cross fruit between a papaya and quinoa. I can't quite frankly remember the word I made to be left with that, it wasn't taramasalata (which obviously doesn't fit), but it was like "SAVAGE" or something like that. Reply #142.

I had five U's only last week and not a Q in sight. Next week I expect Qs and no U anywhere. It usually works out with a bit of strategic swapping, and unlike in the real Scrabble you don't need to miss a go. Reply #143. Jun 25 20, 12:28 PM |

Since the 24th every other vowel I've received has been an I. Not quite as extreme as garrybl's situation but still noticeable. Been hunting for a Z over the last few days, looking to finally submit "zebra" and move a step closer to the Word Safari badge. I'll only require "sloth" after that, but the WW Gods are making me work for it! Reply #144. Jun 26 20, 6:14 PM |

Too many consonants, especially Rs. Rather easy to fix though. Just trade consonants for vowels. Reply #146. Jul 02 20, 7:17 PM |

4 of my last 5 letters awarded have been U. Does make me wonder about the coding for this game. Reply #147. Jul 03 20, 6:01 PM |

It's probably more noticeable with Is and Us because they're the worst vowels to get. Just looked through my recent results and I had a run of As and Es too, but I didn't notice because I was able to make words with them more easily, so they didn't accumulate. Finally got to submit "zebra" anyway. Just need to snare me a sloth! Reply #148. Jul 03 20, 6:14 PM |

New levels of ridiculousness. "Repositions" isn't an accepted word. What the...? Reply #149. Jul 04 20, 5:48 AM |

My last I was followed by another I...three letters ago. Now I just drew a third I. Will keep you posted on the letter to follow. Reply #150. Jul 09 20, 5:16 AM |

SURPRISE SURPRISE Another I....really how many more times does this have to happen before the organizers admit there is a flaw in the letter allocation system? Reply #151. Jul 09 20, 6:27 AM |

If you want to query the way in which the letter allocation is programmed, you should post in the Feedback section of the Forums where Terry can see it. Reply #152. Jul 09 20, 8:22 AM |

You can tell that word wizard dictionary is not a football (soccer) fan, because it does not include the word 'chesting'. Reply #153. Jul 09 20, 8:27 AM |

The 'i's are running rampant today. At one point I had seven of them. Need I say I made a couple of trades. Reply #157. Jul 09 20, 10:44 AM |

Not sure which dictionary/dictionaries are used by the WordWizard editors. I've checked 3 so far and "recalibrate" is listed in all 3. Not accepted in the funtrivia universe, though. Soooooooo many common words not accepted ....... Reply #160. Jul 17 20, 11:33 PM |
