How come BK doesn't have any type of word games like "scrabble"?

Is there any chance of that in the future?

Just curious :)

Babe68: I also love them.....it isnt hard....just change the name and make sure the double/trebles etc are in different places...the hardest part is the dictionary I would think. The one that GoldToken uses isnt complete so many many words aren't available...but I still love playing word games :)

Bernice: I would disagree due to many languages. Not worth the hassle to make on this gamesite, since alot don't speak well in English. It would cause such unfair BKR and so forth.

Bernice: I also would think it would be difficult because of the different languages.

But if you have free available dictionaries for different languages (like I know there is for English), I would guess the simplest solution (if they were to make a word game here.) would to be make different games for each language. (Like English Word game, Czech word game, Spanish word game, etc...) - That way if a tournament is made for "word game", you don't accidentally get an English only player (like myself) matched up with someone who can't read English.

Some-what good news for those who would like word games is that I could have sworn that A LONG TIME AGO (years), Fencer was very interested in making a type of word game for the site... and I thought was working on it at one time. Maybe he decided against it... or maybe just got sucked into other projects and the word game had been put to the side... or then again, maybe I'm just imaging it.

coan.net: It's not only the dictionary that is different in the various languages, it's also the distribution of the letters and the value in points of each. I think the only common thing for all languages is the board layout, but I can be wrong here.
