I'm playing in practice mode now.  give me a bit on this one.

[colleen]

I've been playing it so much I think I might need someone to make an intervention. I've gotten to know the scrabulous robot oh too well in the practice games. Oh, the countless ways to procrastinate.

You can get mad points if you stack rows of words. Especially if you cover the red or pink squares (triple or double word score). Last night I got 131 points for the word gruesome because it hit red, blue and was stacked with a couple of other words.

not sure if i want to play you, colleen...131?

[aMD]

how do you stack the tiles?

[colleen]

how do you stack the tiles?

It's a little hard to explain without a picture, but if you play with the robot (on practice games) that is the strategy it (he/she) employs. I'll try to describe it. So, say you have a word like "tidy" going horizontally and in your letters, you also have the letters "d" and "o" If you place the word "do" horizontally directly under the "id" in "tidy," you'll get more points, especially if d or o falls on a pink or red square because then it doubles or triples both words. The more clever you get at strategically placing tiles, the more points you get.

[easy jim]

so i guess it's not like that game "up words" where you physically stack the tiles, covering up the ones underneath.

[colleen]

No. It's just like scrabble. Maybe I should have said have words run parallel to each other. You know you're addicted when you develop your own slang to describe your scrabulous moves.

that's what i was thinking too

[ManNamedTruth]

I lost SO MANY times cause i didn't understand how to get lots of points by stacking and by getting words in the pink and blue squares. i'm much better now. start a game with me if you want (sean, colleen)
