These are just the ones I noticed off the top of my head, I haven't done a proper comparission so there might be a few other differences with the distribution and scoring.
Only 8 I tiles? Wordscraper was the replacement for Lexulous Scrabulous. Lexulous is the new name for the rejiggered Scrabulous. Wordscraper was actually around before Scrabulous was removed. Newer ». This thread is closed to new comments. Tags facebook. This included important information, like naming the official Scrabble dictionary as the official word list.
With little to distinguish Scrabulous from its inspiration, Hasbro had the grounds to file lawsuits against RJ Softwares for infringing on their intellectual property rights. They did so in July A few weeks later, Facebook removed it for all other regions as well.
Later that year, in September , the Scrabulous site itself was forced to suspend activity, effectively killing the Scrabulous brand.
The only stipulation was that RJ Softwares could not use the name or any name that resembled Scrabble. The company opted to create the new Lexulous game and website in September As a pleasant surprise for Scrabulous fans, who actively rallied to keep the game in operation, all of their games, points and other account details were transferred to the new Lexulous site. Lexulous changed more than its name to appease Hasbro. RJ Softwares changed the Lexulous game board, rearranging the position of the score multipliers.
Lexulous returned to Facebook at the start of when Hasbro withdrew their lawsuit. Hasbro made this decision after RJ Softwares made the significant changes to Scrabulous by shifting to Lexulous. Lexulous continues to serve as a popular online Scrabble clone. An extra bonus is given to any player using all 8 tiles in one word. The first person to use all his game tiles also scores a bonus of all the accumulated tile points still being held by the other players. Now that we have the basics out of the way you are ready to learn what playing on Facebook and the official Lexulous site is like.
While there are a wide variety of sites where you can play this game I am going to tell you what you need to set yourself up for playing on two sites. The official Lexulous site and Facebook. Both of these sites offer free play so you can enjoy hour after hour of word fun.
Playing Lexulous on the official site gives a player a host of playing options. You can play with other friends who have joined the site, play with random players you can choose experience levels play with friends through the email option or if your friends are simply not into word games you can choose the practice option and play with robots. To become a player on the official site you simply type in www.
The site will then send you an activation email which you will need to click on a link and then you are ready to play. I recently checked out the Robot option and found it incredibly fun. For starters you get to choose the Robots skill level so if you need to boost your self esteem then choose skill level one. However, if you are like me then choosing a skill level for the Robot player a bit higher than your own is going to help you improve your game. Since I consider myself to be a fairly good scrabble player I decided to start my Robot competition at skill level 5.
Little Mr. Bot blew me out of the water. Next I decided to start at level 1 and work my way up. It seems that when it comes to playing Lexulous my skills need a bit of sharpening as skill level 3 gives me quite a challenge.
One thing about the robot or practice play that is a little bit unnerving is that the moment you post your word the computers word appears immediately after. Almost too quickly for you to realize what has happened. Though I haven't actually tried the other methods of play on the official site yet, they look easy to get into. To play live you simply choose a room and enter and you will be matched with players.
Or you can use a special code that the site gives you to invite friends on Twitter or other sites to play by email. It really is that simple. However, it does take a couple of games to get used to the board and really get into the swing of things but, once you do you will find the game increasingly addicting.
The fastest way to access Lexulous on Facebook is simply type the name of the game into your search engine and then click on the entry that says "Play Lexulous on facebook". Once on the facebook site you need to log in. If you don't already have a facebook account you will need to create one.
On the next screen you are going to want to click on "Go to Application" Here you can choose to play by yourself for practice or play live with other players. When playing with others you can join a public table, create a private table or start a private game with a friend.
While some games can go quite quickly other games can take a week or more as players take a turn whenever they happen to be online. Of course it is only natural that we all want to learn a few strategies to help make us better players, so here are a few tips that will help you master Lexulous a little bit faster.
During the first few games familiarize yourself with the letter values, as many are different than Scrabble. Then during play try to use the high value letters on multiple grids so you can get a huge jump in your score.
