Scramble with Friends (SWF) - Containment /Strat Thread - Page 72 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

The glitch is still there and now me and my friend are actively using it to score high value words. In particular if you double a DW or TW you get 4x and 6x respectively. Actually makes the game more fun!

Also, in addition to doubling a letter, you can reuse all letters that you have used until freeze kicks.

What glitch is this?

Whatever letter you're on when freeze is activated gets doubled.

Never should've updated, every game I'm in crashes within the first minute. It's to the point where I just use double inspiration every time since I'm seeing every board 10-15 times before I can actually complete it without the program dying

So looking for new opponents in WWF. I'm pretty good (though not sure how good because only played with a few people who have taken Scrabble seriously), but not sure how good. I usually avg ~360-390 against solid opponents and a bit higher against bad opponents or ones who don't block boards well.

Feel free to add me davistabuff

I play scramble too but still suck more or less at it.

Let's get the KO bracket going. I filled in the rest of the names. I still think its lame to use whatever this points ratio is instead of H2H to break ties, but am still excited to see how the bracket shakes out relative to RR play.

Stopped playin scramble for a couple months then picked it up only using double freeze... Haven't lost to a friend in probably 6 weeks now... Most not even close. Getting over 2k pretty easily now and even had my first 2k round which gave me a final score of 3273 for the game..

Looking to get beat

Sounds good but I was referring to the tournament we currently have going. We finished round robin play with 24 players and need to move on to the tournament/elimination bracket.

Edit: sweet. brackets are set.

Excited to see that I have a 2.20% chance of winning, according to the simulation (though let's be honest, I'm really playing for 3rd place).

bs you've gotten way better since the lockout. We have to be like 50/50 over our last dozen games.

Thanks to whoever set the rest of the bracket. The matchups are on the knockout sheet and you can enter scores and results there too. Just start a game and say in the chat it's for the tournament like for the round robin stage.

Also I did some simulations using data from the round robin, and a simulation for a hypothetical tournament with only one-game series.

I'd buy Bacon Sashimi to win contracts at 2.2% if this were InTrade based on the results of the many games I've played with him during the 2p2 blackout.

GL and have fun all.

I know I've gotten better, not sure about 50/50 though...I guess we've split the last 4 at least, since I still have those scores in my history.

I think if we were just competing based on round 1 results, I would do pretty well...but I fall apart too often in round 3.

I'm excited for the 1st round results to start coming in. I can't wait to play my series.

For anyone who's interested in playing the next tournament, I've started a signup list here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...4ZFA4OUE#gid=0

I'm thinking we'll start the next one after this one is over, which should take about a week. The format should depend on how many signups we get.
