online Scrabble
The new-look Scrabble via Facebook is a nightmare, and I refuse to use it! Is there any alternative Scrabble game on the internet?

Oh, Innis! Please let this not be true! Whatever is the point in the producers being coy about long words?

Re: Countdown demise
If Countdown was just the game, and nothing else, the only people who would watch would be apterites.
I agree that DC gets very tedious, although enthusiasts for words make good guests (GBrandreth).
Jo Brand is very funny, but not on Countdown.

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday March 26th 2013 (Series 68 Prelim 1
I played a game on Apterous yesterday and was told "you could have had DOTAGES" (although I wouldn't have tried it, having just watched Countdown). As a poet, I would say dotages should be a word, poem on application, but give me ten minutes to write one!

Re: Cheating: What it is, and why you shouldn't do it
There's often reference to cheating in the side-panel on the apterous screen. Are there really people who cheat? If there are, shouldn't they be warned/outed/removed? I have my doubts about a few, particularly with numbers; but then, I'm crap at numbers!

Apterous numbers game
Loving Apterous! But however hard I try, I can't enter my solution for the numbers game in the (apparent) microsecond I get. I think I'm keying it in all wrong. Could somebody explain how to enter the numbers in the grid? For example, to make 688 from 25, 8, 4, 3, 4 and 1: declare total 688 enter 8-...
