@Robusto They sure better be fussy about writing code. But yeah, not expected to be wordcels or Scrabble snoots.

I used to play very high level Scrabble. That was when I also played the crossword. I don't think I could pick up a Sunday nyt crossword today and solve it without assistance from Google. I wouldn't get 20 out of 20 on that test today either. Nor could I pull that Les Miserables riff in 8.5 minutes like I told you about.

@rydwolf scrabble words only go up to 15 letters, which is why its plural isn't there. non-scrabble words include vodkathumbscrewingly and pubvexingfjordschmaltzy

There are actually quite a few scrabble challenges, but most of them either don't require it to be a valid word, or don't consider board state (Or multipliers)

Dict can be read for free, otherwise the challenge is just encrypting the scrabble dictionary

they should have scrabble tournaments with an unlimited size board and unlimited pieces. the only way to end the game is to have some ridiculous set up with forced non-words as the only plays on the outside

if you take the 1st, 11th and 21st answers it's E SCRABBLE VALUE, then 2nd, 12th and 22nd is FIRST ODD PRIME and so on until 10th, 20th and 30th make A SCORE'S AMOUNT (the 20 answer we were missing)

POINT AFTER LOVE = 15
WASHINGTON $ AMOUNT = 1

FIRST ODD PRIME = 3
POUNDS KEY VALUE = 3

maybe??? i'm by no means sold

Stiv

Oct 21, 2024 22:19

Then SCRABBLE BLANK SCORES = 0

Stiv

Oct 21, 2024 22:15

So an almost complete three-word-clue partition might look something like:

ALTERNATIVE BLACKJACK NAME = 21
POINT AFTER LOVE = 15
BLANK SCRABBLE VALUE = 0
WASHINGTON $ AMOUNT = 1
DAYS IN FORTNIGHT = 14
STRIPED GREEN BALL = 14
FIRST ODD PRIME = 3
CLEAR-SIGHTED WHEN DOUBLED = 20

Spares at present: E / POUNDS / A / KEY / SCORES / MATE

Stiv

Oct 21, 2024 22:10

(or E SCRABBLE VALUE = 1)

Stiv

Oct 21, 2024 22:10

Or BLANK SCRABBLE VALUE = 0

may as well post this so others can make progress on it: some words that polygonpotpourri has posted make up phrases that can represent the number 14:

Q: Representing directions as an enum of immutable vectors compatible with numpy

To represent direction in a 2D word grid game (like Scrabble), I wanted to make a class that only has specified instances available and cannot be further instantiated (like an enum). I would also like the class to behave the rest of the time like a numpy array, so that I can easily perform vector...

@Stiv I see. I can definitely say it's worth it to find new vocabulary words, the meaning of some obscure words with uncommon letters in them, and Scrabble plays too. I can thus definitively understand that opening your mind to new words, names, and phrases is a fantastic idea. Thank you, @Stiv!

@Cerberus But there are some valid scrabble words that contain a "Q" without a following "U."

You are shown a set of scrabble tiles, and you must guess which language.

And different words is what matters in Scrabble.

Cerberus

But I suppose Scrabble value is quite different from letter frequency.

Sep 14, 2024 19:13

Maybe Q and Z they were putting on the the digit 0 because those are worth 10 points each in Scrabble.
