Conquer Club

I have already stated this I think, but I think YES to option 5 would probably be fine. It doesn't really matter. Whoever won the games with the letters Z, X, J, and Q are going to make the highest point totaled word anyway.

The person with a Q may be screwed if he has no U, and the person with X might make XI if he has and I, but XI can be beaten by a more prosaic but longer word. Like BUBBLE, for instance.

Okay I've appealed for votes both in the thread and by PM, and the only new vote has been get tonkaed, in addition to the 5 votes we got earlier. So we stand at 3 votes YES, 3 votes NO, and 10 people who either don't know or don't care or perhaps just want me to shut up, take responsibility, and do my job as Organiser. So I shall. My decision is that YES, we will use option 5 to offset the vowel shortage. You can add any 2 vowels to your tray, free of charge.

Vowels that you have added to your tray by this rule will score no points if you use them. You do not have to defend them and they will not count toward your total for the purpose of determining if you can make a challenge.

Sorry but too late.

Ok that long and epic struggle finally ended! Congrats to uk massive!

So all opening rounds are now over, but I have to go to Ottawa at midnight tonight and I probably won't be back for 24 hours or so. That means Saturday morning is the earliest I will be able to tally up and post the opening round results.

Apologies for the delay, but we've waited this long -- two more days won't kill anyone. (I hope!)

No, you can add 2 vowels free of charge even if you have more than 7 letters, according to the rule change posted here.

The two free vowels don't score points if you use them!

This is the link to the current online version of the Scrabble dictionary.

I didn't realise until now that it has a word builder feature, so looking through other resources is no longer necessary.

I could not get to any version other than the U.S. version. Can any of the European players please PM me if you get a different version when search for "Official Scrabble Dictionary" And post the URL if it is different from the one I get. Thank you.
