I have not been doing well. Maybe Text Twist is more my speed.

I scored 105 for QUITS with an FOT. 

I felt bad laying down the word.  I don't mind putting the hurt on an anonymous Joe like Mr. MoustacheRides, but to take advantage of a lucky draw with an FOT seemed unfair.

Still, you play the tiles you're dealt.  Or something.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

In other news, QUIZ is not an approved word in WWF.

Neither is "ACIDS."

I've sometimes found weird tile-placement bugs that are fixed by leaving the game and reentering.  Maybe some of the weirdly not-accepted words are similar kinds of transient bug.

My username is mahgeetah

I play a ton of FB Scrabble but I've never played WWF before. Because I have no self-control, I imagine that I will be playing obsessively.

Speaking of bugs, I left a game after having initiated it (one round) and came back to it later only to discover that my opponent had managed to enter five separate words during my absence. At first I just thought it was another instance of me not knowing the rules, but it turned out to be a bug (the tiles belonged to another game). Weird.

How long until it declares you the winner?  I have two games that are at 4 days without a response now, two games I was about to win.  I want their scalps, especially Mr. MoustacheRides.  They need to take their thumpings like men and women.

I think it's ten days then they forfeit.  Agreed. Also not a fan of resigning when it looks like you've lost. Finish it out.

I've resigned more a 100 points ahead before, with no letters in the bag, just to confuse people.

Anyway, words with friends is so point-heavy you can sometimes pull a last minute upset.
