Re: Cyphers and letters test

Test CL 1.1 is uploaded to kongregate!

- added some words to the dictionary.
- added a link to this forum inside the game (you can see it every time you finish a game).

... and more changes, test it and tell me what you think.

Thanks a lot.

Visiting London

Hi, I am going to visit London next week (first time). I will be there for 2 days only and I would like to know places to see and good restaurants.

Anyone can post a route to follow for 2 days?

I prefer the opinions of this forum people than other spanish forum

Thanks a lot

Woo! Awesome, and even more so for using Kongregate! I'm addicted to it ( level 39 ), and there are very few word games on there so seeing this was amazing. 5/5'd and favourited. Hope it gets badges! :D Thanks a lot. Badges, I am thinking about it. It sounds great. You have seen 1.0 lite version, I...

Re: Cyphers and letters test

I don't know why posterize is not in the dictionary of the game. I usually play spanish version and so don't check if any word is missing. Sorry for that.

I hope you don't find missing words anymore. It is amazing you have discovered this in your first game!!

Re: Cifras y Letras, suite

Thanks a lot for all the replies. Spanish people think Inmaculada won because she was very very lucky with her turns. A 18 point word in round 11, and no other 9 letter-words for me in the game. I lose my turn on round 4 with a easy number game. I was very tired. This match was the fifth for me in a...

Hi all again!! I came back to play with new contestants. There is a new rule on tv spanish show: 30 victories max per contestant. I had win 101 times before this rule, so I only could win 131 times max. But I only win 116 times, and then I lose in my 117º game against a woman called Inmaculada. Fina...

That's right, plurals are not allowed.

I have a bot for irc channels with english dictionary, another bot with french dictionary, and one with italian dictionary. Only need the frecuency for getting letters like tv show. If anyone know this, I can finish them.

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

It does make me think, I remember when players like Chris Wills and Julian Fell were on that they could certainly have approached the 50 mark has they not been stopped. Also, how good is the standard on Cifras y Letras? One player offered a six when there was a nine, for example (even I had a seven...

Re: Des chiffres et des lettres, suite

It doesn't sound like the Spanish season has finals at the end, so just to explain, in England the best eight players in the series come back and play a knockout competition, the winner gets the dictionaries and the losing finalist gets £1000 (I think). There is no finals at the end, I was talking ...

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

Interesting that, in the case of a draw, they seem to allocate the points on the basis of whose round it is. For example, if it was my round and I got a 7 and so did my opponent, only I would get the points. Maybe Francisco could confirm if that is correct. I suppose it makes you more willing to de...
