Possibly; he is a pretty formidable Super Villain.

BTW, Al, you haven't forgotten our WS game, have you?  Or are you planning some devious move?

Okay, Al, I played my First move, and then my Second.

And I think I wasted some of my time trying to figure out how to work the interface, but maybe I can make up for that in Round 3.

I'm sure you will, Andrew. I seem to be an easy mark in this one. Of course,
I never thought of myself as an easy mark in Scrabble until you came along.


...


So devious it hasn't occurred to me yet, Paulo. But watch out. It's coming,
I'm sure...

...and I see you've picked up on what I was saying about being an easy mark,
Andrew. But at least I can take away a feeling of satisfaction of helping new
users post great win stats in a hurry...

Marc Foxx and Paulo, I have notifications that you guys invited me to games, but when I go into the apps (WordTwist and Wordscraper), there are no games listed.  Hope you guys don't think I'm ignoring you.

Ryan - I've just started a game of each of those with you. Let me know if
you can see them.

Marc & Paulo - have you played your first move in Wordscraper? I've found
it's a bit buggy if you decide to leave the first move to your opponent when
you're the one who started the game.

I don't currently have any active games in wordscraper - I'm getting my tush handed to me by Andrew Hess in Scrabble right now, though.

Up and running, Al!

Marc, join the club.  Andrew is a wiz!

What's the deal with endgame in Wordscraper and Scrabble?  I've had playable tiles left in both games when they've ended.  They just won't let me play them if it won't alter the results?  Just wondering.  Against Andrew, it's a pride thing, I want to eek out as many points as I can to narrow the chasm between us :^)

Game is over when one player has laid all their tiles. The tile value of what
you have left is deducted from your score. I don't like it either, but that's
the way it works in Wordscraper and Scrabble.
