By the way, when computing best move, if there are any of repeated letters in the rack, then for some reason, the moves containing those letters are also listed more than once.
Zitat von Raman im Beitrag #57The English dictionary is outdated, which had been last updated in 2010. Johann Linhart is right now close to 80 years old and no longer maintains the dictionary. If you give me permission, then I can update English dictionary with latest CSW2024 dictionary and NWL2023 dictionary that is used in latest tournaments that will be useful to everyone. I can also update English phonetic dictionary to include the digraph tiles of aɪ, eɪ, ɔɪ, aʊ, oʊ, tʃ, dʒ. You need not give me the credit. You can give the credit to HarperCollins Publishers and to North American Scrabble Players Association for English dictionary and to Steve Neuenhahn of Carnegie Mellon University for Sphinx Library for English phonetic dictionary, instead.
Just for more of your information, Johann Linhart had been last active in this Scrabble3D forum on 4 November 2017 and he has not been online in this forum since then, at all. This is just as his profile page in this forum says so. By the way, if anyone mentions him in this forum, then an e-mail notification will be automatically sent to him from this forum, isn't it? But, there has also been no response from him, the last time you mentioned him in this forum, 6 years back and to be exact, that is on 10 July 2020.
Grid of words based anagramming mobile app Fast word quiz Back in 2022, when I was playing weekly online tournaments in ARFS, I felt that to become a better Scrabble player, it is important to study new words than to play fairly with the existing knowledge that I have. I had been using several anagramming software like Zyzzyva, Anagram Quizzer, Hoot for Collins, Xerafin, etc. to improve my vocabulary knowledge. All these tools quiz only one anagram at a time. If I occasionally encounter a 7 letter word or an 8 letter word that is unknown to me and that is difficult to guess, I get stuck in that word for a long time.
Some time later, I came to know about Aerolith WordWalls, a web application and Infiniwords, a Windows application which are similar to each other. I found anagramming much faster and also felt better visualization with these tools as it was possible for me to focus on all the words in the page which I know already at first and finally tackle the words which are unknown to me.
Inspired by them, I decided to create my own mobile app in Android with a lot more features than they contain which would better aid my word study. I thought a mobile app will be better as it can be better used while travelling or when away from my computer. I also thought of designing my mobile app such that it can be used either with 1 anagram per page or with 50 anagrams per page, by changing the number of rows and columns manually.
I designed my mobile app in such a way that it covers all words irrespective of payment requirements. Also, it can do untimed quizzes, in a relaxed manner, in such a way that anagrams can be tried to solve again and again until the answer is correct. Also, it can save the progress of solving words when my mobile app is exited and restarted or when the next page is visited and the current page is returned to after solving some of the words in that next page. This will make it possible for me to solve a few words every now and then, in the middle of other work, instead of spending a lot of time continuously on a group of anagrams.
I built my mobile app by using Android's SQLite database which has the cool feature of saving some useful information like solved status of words, tags, time taken to solve the word, wrong answers, etc. that will be retained when my mobile app is exited and restarted or when another page is visited. However, that useful information will be lost when my mobile app is uninstalled or when moving over to a new device. For that purpose, I have also added the functionality of exporting either only selected columns or all data in database to CSV files which can be imported at the time of re-installing my mobile app. Fast word quiz opening screen: Top 50 high probability 7 letter anagrams in page 1
When Word Crow mobile app had been published in the Google Play Store, I was also inspired to publish my mobile app as other people will find it useful, but only after dramatic improvements. By using the default settings, I cover all anagrams page by page in descending order of probability for each of the word lengths which can be manually changed from the home page.
Each of the words can be optionally tagged at the time of submission of the words, according to anyone's level of mastery of the words. The tags can either be selected from the drop down list of existing tags or a new tag can be entered. Each tag has a colour associated with it, with which words will be displayed in that colour in the Report page. Tags can be changed either with a pop up dialogue box by entering the word and the alphagram in the home page or by a single click in the Report page if any of words are wrongly tagged. Initially, there are 12 tags: Known, Unknown, Prefix, Suffix, Past, Plural, Compound, Guessable, Learnt, New, Removed and No tag. New tags can be created and existing tags can be deleted depending upon anyone's tastes. Tagging words in different colours at the time of submission of each of the words
The tags help anyone to focus on specific words for revision some time later on, after solving them. For example, if anyone wants to revise only the words unknown to them, then they can tag those words as Unknown and Filter By Tag, either for specific word length or for all word lengths. There is also an option to Reset By Tag for marking those words as unsolved and for re-solving those words. People with knowledge of SQL can also add their own columns to the SQL table and use more than one column for tagging.
SQL SELECT queries can be used for word filters that also makes it possible to create complex word filters than any of other mobile apps support. The 4 most commonly used SQL statements namely comparison operators (=, <, >, <=, >= and !=), IN / NOT IN, LIKE and BETWEEN have been made easier to type, although SQL supports a wide range of other operations like substring, concatenation, absolute value, in all, in any, etc. All complex word filters can also be saved under different names and loaded with ease. The 4 most commonly used SQL statements have been made easier to type, although SQL supports even more functions
There are also menu options for anagrams and subanagrams, which are built by using SQL queries and hence faster than other mobile apps. They can be used with any number of blanks and along with other SQL statements. There is also a menu option for people with knowledge of SQL to directly make changes to the database by CREATE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP and TRUNCATE queries.
In Android 14 and earlier, the menu can be accessed by clicking on the 3 horizontal lines on the top left corner of the page. In Android 15 and later, the display is edge-to-edge by default and so anyone needs to swipe right from the left edge of the screen to access the menu. In Android 15 and later, the menu can be accessed only with button navigation and not with gesture navigation in settings. The navigation drawer menu contains a variety of configurations for my mobile app
The text colour is black by default for anyone not using the dark mode. However, care has also been taken to detect anyone using the dark mode and to change the display of all the black text to white for them.
Information about the presence of each of the words in CSW, NWL, CEL and WIMS dictionaries are also stored and displayed. (CEL refers to the Common English Lexicon used by Woogles and WIMS refers to the Wfind tool in Mathematical Recreations in https://wims.univ-cotedazur.fr). In addition, this also includes information about the earliest version of the CSW and NWL lexicons for the presence of each of the words, for CSW starting from 2007 and for NWL starting from 2006. A small number of words are not present in the NASPA School Word List and this is also included.
For real life Scrabble tournaments, the maximum length of the words which can be played is 15, but my mobile app also anyway includes words longer than 15 letters for completeness. The CSW, NWL and CEL long word lists have been taken from https://github.com/Fj00 and https://github.com/grubbcc/longlist.
Displaying similar words can be turned on and off from the menu. Similar words are displayed when a word is answered correctly in the Quiz page or when a word is long clicked in the Report page. Similar words include prefixes, suffixes, both prefixes and suffixes, anagrams, one letter change keeping position of other letters fixed, one letter change with other letters at any position, one letter addition and one letter drop. What prefixes and suffixes to display can be configured by the user and whether first letter is to be doubled or dropped for prefixes and whether last letter is to be doubled or dropped for suffixes, each of them before what specific set of letters. Dropping E at the end and replacing Y at the end by I are included by default in the list of suffixes. All similar words are shown for the word PERFECT
When my mobile app is installed for the first time, anyone can choose whether they want to choose CSW or NWL dictionary. There are options to do either quizzes with no blanks or quizzes with one blank separately. Initially, preparing regular database from the pop up or from the menu will take a few minutes and preparing blank database from the menu will take a few hours. Quizzes can be started in any 1 of the 5 ways: Change Word Length, Filter By Tag, Custom SQL Query, Search For Anagrams or Search For Subanagrams. Each of the options will display a pop up dialogue box from which users can choose whether they want to do either quizzes with no blanks or quizzes with one blank, display all anagrams or only unsolved anagrams, for specific word length or for all word lengths and what table column they want to sort anagrams by, including default SQL insertion order and random order, either in ascending order or in descending order and with anagrams with more than one answers, SQL aggregation functions like Count, Sum, Average, Minimum and Maximum can also be used. Blank quizzes of 7 letters which have only 1 answer in random order
Each of the fully solved anagrams in the quiz will be marked in green colour and they will not be replaced by other anagrams in their respective places. However, they can be removed if the user chooses displaying only unsolved anagrams from the pop up dialogue box. Each of the anagrams displays number of solved answers and total number of answers. This and the green colour for fully solved anagrams can be hidden from the menu by user's settings. However, the total score for the entire quiz and the total score for the current page are always displayed at the top of the quiz, along with the page number, total number of pages and the message for each solved word: Correct Answer, Wrong Answer, Already Solved and Anagram Not Here, either in green colour for valid words in dictionary or in red colour for invalid words in dictionary.
Other features in my mobile app include changing the number of rows, number of columns and the font size of the anagrams, tag list, saved word filters and definitions for people with vision issues. Letters in each of the anagrams can be sorted either alphabetically, vowels first, consonants first, increasing points, decreasing points or in random order either in ascending order or in descending order. Page summary of all solved words in each of the pages can also be displayed along with their associated tags. Words can either be cleared or not and last solved words can either be saved or not in the Enter Answer text box after submitting them at user's settings for Correct Answer, Wrong Answer, Already Solved and Anagram Not Here. Anyway, there are also options for manually clearing and for manually loading last solved words in the home page. Timestamp is also recorded at the time of correctly solving each of the words.
When any of the anagrams in the quiz is clicked, all its solved words are displayed at the bottom of the quiz along with their front hooks, back hooks, definitions, tags assigned to them, the earliest versions of CSW, NWL, CEL and WIMS dictionaries in which each of the words had been first introduced, page number, position number in the page and the order of the word in descending order of probability for that specific word length, in the colours that are associated with the tags assigned to each of the words. Only the solved word along with all those details are also displayed at the time of correctly solving any of the words. When any of the anagrams in the quiz is long clicked, all its unsolved words along with all those details are displayed in a pop up dialogue box. The Report page displays information about time taken to solve each of the words, tags assigned to them, wrong answers, etc. in different colours
Fast word study This is another companion mobile app to my quizzing mobile app, which contains all the above mentioned features except for quizzing. It only contains words, but not the anagrams that are associated with them. It does not mark words as solved, it does not track the time taken to solve each of the words, it does not track wrong answers and it does not contain the number of solved words for each of the anagrams. It can best be used to choose different tags from the drop down box at the top of the page and quickly mark the words in different colours, depending upon user's level of mastery of each of the words, just by a single click. Fast word study: Tagging words in different colours just by choosing tags on top of page and clicking the words
Zitat von Raman im Beitrag #58☀ Showing definitions of words along with the words themselves in tooltip text whenever hovering mouse over words.
This is actually only before the submission of the move. Definitions of words along with the words themselves are displayed properly in tooltip text whenever hovering mouse over words after the submission of the move, in the latest version 4 of Scrabble3D.
I would like to invite all English speaking people from all around the world to Mu Sigma 2027 international Scrabble tournament in Bangalore, India from 23 January 2027 to 26 January 2027. It follows CSW2024 dictionary. Mu Sigma KSSA Indian Open 2027. Gets bigger. Save the dates! It will be for 4 days, with 4 divisions and with 33 rounds for A Division and for B Division, with 15 rounds for C Division and with 6 rounds for D Division. It will be a WESPA Gold Tier event with a top prize of $2000. I am looking forward for at least 1 of the tournaments in India to be made as an elite event like the Causeway Challenge, attracting many of foreign players. There are plenty of rounds, 33 rounds, when compared to 36 rounds in Causeway Challenge. In Indian tournaments, anyone can play in a higher division than their WESPA rating at their own will, while in Causeway Challenge, they divide into 5 equal divisions depending over upon each of players' WESPA ratings and no one can play in a higher division than their WESPA rating at their own will. Contact e-mail address for any of general enquiries about this tournament is: kssa.scrabble@gmail.com.
Registration link for this tournament is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQ...SLhJww/viewform. I am looking forward at least for Mu Sigma tournament in India to be made as at least as big as the Causeway Challenge with participants from across all over the world.
Other things yet to be implemented in the latest version 4 of Scrabble3D include: ☀ Showing definitions of words along with the words themselves in tooltip text whenever hovering mouse over words. ☀ The tooltip text also needs to show word is Not Found whenever hovering mouse over non-dictionary words either before submitting them or after accepting them whenever submitting them. ☀ The Game Course also needs to strike out non-dictionary words. ☀ The left over tiles in the bag also needs to be shown in tooltip text along with cumulative scores and along with time spent whenever hovering mouse over number of tiles left at the bottom of the page. In the earlier version 3.1 of Scrabble3D, there will be an option in configuration that can be either turned on or turned off, to display the cumulative scores for all of the players, along with the timestamp, all of the played words and the score during the current turn in Messages. ☀ An option to save the screenshot of the current board position, along with all of the tiles in the rack, to an image file. ☀ An option to switch between Greek letters and Roman Numerals for third dimensional co-ordinates. ☀ An option to peek into other people's online games in play in the Free International Scrabble3D Server. ☀ An option to take back all of tiles placed in the board, before submitting the move during the current turn, by a single click. ☀ An option to shuffle all of the tiles in the rack. ☀ Showing the time elapsed during the current turn in the toolbar of Scrabble3D.
So, implementing all of these things yet is actually only your work.
For my part, I just want to integrate fractions into the Maths dictionary. Please advice whether it is possible to define 2 different letter sets in the same dictionary for 2 different categories, which can be chosen by the player at the time of starting a game, depending on the variant which they want to play. Or is there any of alternative solution to this?
Zitat von Scotty im Beitrag #40Dictionaries are somewhat out of my business. For sake of usability I prefer a clean list without langA_variantA,langA_variantB,langB... what speaks for integration. But obviously we come to a point where dictionaries make sense. And we should implement a special mode for Math in the next version.
Would you really not prefer to have a separate dictionary equate.dic, apart from math.dic, for a different variant of Maths, just because it completely uses a different letter set?
Zitat von Scotty im Beitrag #53Outch, how embarrassing ;-)
In Configuration → Rules, Subtract the value of left letters has been incorrectly spelt as Substract the value of left letters.
Zitat von Scotty im Beitrag #56The English dictionaries were both provided by @linhart, IIRC.
The English dictionary is outdated, which had been last updated in 2010. Johann Linhart is right now close to 80 years old and no longer maintains the dictionary. If you give me permission, then I can update English dictionary with latest CSW2024 dictionary and NWL2023 dictionary that is used in latest tournaments that will be useful to everyone. I can also update English phonetic dictionary to include the digraph tiles of aɪ, eɪ, ɔɪ, aʊ, oʊ, tʃ, dʒ. You need not give me the credit. You can give the credit to HarperCollins Publishers and to North American Scrabble Players Association for English dictionary and to Steve Neuenhahn of Carnegie Mellon University for Sphinx Library for English phonetic dictionary, instead.
I believe the latest version 4 of Scrabble3D requires a lot of work. For example, there is no option to turn on exchanging of tiles whenever there are less than [Number of tiles in rack] tiles in the bag. In English, this rule had been introduced to restrict anyone from exchanging Q at the end. But, in Maths, this option can be useful at the end to exchange tiles if at least one of operators, = or numbers are missing. And in Maths with fractions, it can be useful to push away difficult fractions at the end.
Placement of letters in the board by typing from keyboard is yet to be implemented.
When opening Scrabble3D after closing it, all the categories that had been enabled in the previous load of Scrabble3D are not stored and none of the categories are enabled by default during the newer load of Scrabble3D.
Malus multipliers, What-If-Only variant, custom fonts, movie exports and configuration directory change features are yet to be implemented. It is also impossible to add new rows to letter distribution and for me, it is also impossible to edit existing rows in letter distribution and they revert back to original values after any of changes to them.
Actually, I would love seeing bonus tiles as in Anadrome added than Malus multipliers. They had been lovely to play with for last 1½ years and now I miss them very much. It is possible to acquire scores of plenty of digits and each of board layouts had different winning objectives. Most of conventional Scrabble players do not think out of the box to visualize all of those of bonus tiles.
In the latest version 4 of Scrabble3D, there are also quite a few of annoying bugs. When changing board layouts, change of bonus tiles to each of the squares are not immediately shown. However, if I change the board size and come back to the original board size, then the newer bonus tiles that had been changed to each of the squares are applied.
Also, it happened once that when reading an English dictionary with plenty of categories, not all of the words in the dictionary had been properly read. It looks like the enabled categories are stored only by their first letters in the configuration files and so if 2 or more of the categories begin with the same letter, then conflict arises. Even if all of categories had been enabled, then words in some of the categories are shown as words in disabled categories in Word Search and the computer does not play any of those words during any of the games.
While exiting the mobile app, the dictionary, board layout and letter distribution of last played game is saved in configuration file and not anything loaded after them. The letter distribution is also not altered when loading a previously saved game to the one defined in it.
Last, but not the least, in the latest version 4 of Scrabble3D, some of the letters also get changed while playing the game. Actually, when I shuffle the tiles in my rack, and go to Game Course to see some of older played moves, I noted this effect when computing best move.
Also, I noted when playing an online game in the Free International Scrabble Server, it is possible to pass an opponent's move by myself. In Android, it is impossible to continue the game after it loses focus by, for example, either by turning off and turning on mobile phone or by switching over to some of other of mobile app and coming back to Scrabble3D mobile app once again. Also, when saving games and loading games to Free International Scrabble Server, then some of the letters get altered when continuing the older game in play.
Zitat von Raman im Beitrag #54By the way, I think of updating a few dictionaries in Scrabble3D: 1. Maths, to include fractions. 2. Tamil, to include words from Tamil Wiktionary and to make a few corrections (this will take some amount of work by me, to filter special characters and to correct some inflected forms of words.). 3. English, to latest CSW2024 dictionary and to latest NWL2023 dictionary (if you agree and I need not be credited.). 4. English phonetic, to include digraph tiles aɪ, eɪ, ɔɪ, aʊ, oʊ, tʃ, dʒ (if you agree and I need not be credited.).
Anyway, from my part, I can at least update the Maths dictionary and Tamil dictionary.
I can update Tamil dictionary some of time later on, as it would require more of work by me.
Right now, I can at least update Maths dictionary to include fractions. Please let me know if you are ready to update it and I will send to you a newer version of the Maths dictionary within another of couple of days.
Actually, you would prefer integrating maths equations with fractions in math.dic itself, isn't it, instead of creating a separate equate.dic for another of variant of Maths?
Actually, the latter is based on Equate game, which is a very own game, instead of considering it as a Maths Scrabble variant. My dictionary will be an improved version of Equate game, with tile distribution revised, reducible fractions and fractions ≥ 1 removed and including all irreducible fractions between 0 and 1 with all denominators from 2 to 10 and 12.
The reason why I am tempted to have a separate dictionary for it is that it will have a different letter distribution from math.dic. If it is integrated into math.dic itself, then will it be at least be possible for math.dic to have 2 different letter distributions for 2 different categories? That was the reason why I was thinking about adding 2 newer letter sets for Maths and for Equate in Configuration → Letters in Scrabble3D itself, instead of defining 2 different letter sets in math.dic itself.
math.dic, new number heavy letter distribution than whatever has been defined in older version of math.dic file, to encourage players to form longer maths equations:
By the way, there are 5 stars below my name in my Scrabble3D forum profile. At what post number will each of those stars turn on? For example, the 1st star turned on at my 100th post.
Just for clarification, is it possible to add a new letter set manually by myself, say, in a configuration file, or are they inbuilt by Scrabble3D only for 23 specific languages (including 2 variations of English and 2 variations of Portuguese)?
Actually, if I defined pre-defined letter set for Maths without fractions, Maths with fractions, easy version of Tamil, difficult version of Tamil and English phonetic, they will be easy to load every time. Pre-defined letter set can also be defined in dictionary files, although my aim is to contribute them to everyone using Scrabble3D.
By the way, I think of updating a few dictionaries in Scrabble3D: 1. Maths, to include fractions. 2. Tamil, to include words from Tamil Wiktionary and to make a few corrections (this will take some amount of work by me, to filter special characters and to correct some inflected forms of words.). 3. English, to latest CSW2024 dictionary and to latest NWL2023 dictionary (if you agree and I need not be credited.). 4. English phonetic, to include digraph tiles aɪ, eɪ, ɔɪ, aʊ, oʊ, tʃ, dʒ (if you agree and I need not be credited.).
The Tamil dictionary can also be modified to go by Unicode Tamil font and not by Valluvan Tamil font that has been used in earlier version of Tamil dictionary. In latest version 4 of Scrabble3D, it is impossible as of yet to play with custom fonts, isn't it? I believe it is still under work.
If you give me permission, then I can also contribute several new board layouts for everyone using Scrabble3D. 1. 17×17 board layout. 2. 19×19 board layout. 3. 27×27 board layout. 4. 33×33 board layout. 5. 39×39 board layout. 6. 45×45 board layout. 7. Premium squares dense 15×15×15 3D board layout. 8. Premium squares dense 21×21×21 3D board layout. 9. 13×13 board layout (this will be less interesting.). 10. 11×11 board layout (this will be less interesting.). 11. 9×9 board layout (this will be less interesting.). 12. 7×7 board layout (this will be less interesting.).
In addition to them, I can also contribute new pre-defined letter sets for English for each of these new board layouts. Actually, there is a multiplier defined below the letter distribution to multiply one hundred letters to several hundred letters which will result in each letter as an exact multiple of the multiplier. But, I actually hate exact multiples of the multiplier. I would rather go by frequency of each of the letters in the dictionary.
Anyway, these are all of the memories of all of different fun boards that had been available in Anadrome, from Internet web archive, wayback machine, the latest version of which had been captured on 13th April 2026: http://web.archive.org/web/2026041314431...nadro.me/boards This of website will certainly not shut down any sooner at all, isn't it?
If I at least would be able to get tile strings of all of different fun boards that had been available in Anadrome at least through some of means, then I will at least be able to easily build up either my own website or my own mobile app with all of them. On the other hand, constructing tile strings from only the board images that would be available through any of means, would in any of ways actually be a lot of work, even to make a computer script to automatically function and to automatically extract all of different of tile strings out of all of them.
Anyway, these are all of the memories of all of captures that had been made from Anadrome, from Internet web archive, wayback machine, the latest version of which had been captured on 13th April 2026: http://web.archive.org/web/20260000000000*/https://anadro.me
Finally, just actually only for the sakes and purposes of completeness, simply, coming to about scoring with combo of Ceiling tiles and Floor tiles, which I had not yet discussed about it because I had not been sure about it and I had not inspected about it thoroughly whenever Anadrome website had been functional, I think that if more Ceiling tiles than Floor tiles had been used, then the Ceiling effect had been applied, if more Floor tiles than Ceiling tiles had been used, then the Floor effect had been applied and if equal number of Ceiling tiles and Floor tiles had been used, then neither Ceiling effect nor Floor effect had been applied.
So,
ZIPLOCKS played on will score 8 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 1 = 27 points. ZIPLOCKS played on will score 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 64 points. ZIPLOCKS played on will score 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8 points. ZIPLOCKS played on will score (8 × 1 × 4 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 6 × 1)⁴ = 28179280429056 points. ZIPLOCKS played on will score (8 × 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 × 8)³ = 4.722×10²¹ points, that which will actually be 4722366482869645213696 points. ZIPLOCKS played on will score (1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1)³ = 1 point.
By the way, please note that, the Floor tile, if it has been used in excess than the Ceiling tile for covering by making use of the letters that which would be played during the current turn, then all of the letters in the entire word would always be re-valued to 1 point each and not to the minimum of number of points of all of the letters in the entire word.
In Anadrome website, double data type had been used for displaying scores, the maximum value of which had been either 2¹⁰²⁴ points or 1.798×10³⁰⁸ points. The precision for it had been 16 digits. For displaying of all of scores that which had been more than 10²¹ points, scientific notation had been used with displaying of 1st of 4 of most significant digits in the entire final score. However, whenever turn timeline had been clicked over upon, then 1st of 16 of most significant digits had been displayed in the entire final score.
Just only for everyone's reference purposes in the future of period of time, either whoever are within of this forum or whoever are outside of this forum, the following had been the 1 character code for each of the 41 fun bonus tiles in the Anadrome website:
Zitat von Scotty im Beitrag #18Not thrilled about the idea. As said before I'd rather stay with the original idea of Scrabble adding some degrees of freedom.
I really loved playing Scrabble variants in Anadrome website for past 1½ years with different board layouts that can be designed by the users with 40 different fun bonus tiles and with different board sizes ranging from 7×7 to 50×50.
This is because I am a maths enthusiast and I really love powers of smaller integers. May be you are not as interested in them. I will check out with Woogles folks regarding implementing with all of them or even consider either making my own mobile app or making my own website to share with all of the fun experiences I had in Anadrome website with all of other of conventional Scrabble players.
Let me wind up with all of my discussions about Anadrome website here, with this below mentioned scoring example, especially for newer people whoever would be interested to better know more about how the scoring system in Anadrome website had actually worked out.
I am going to talk about induction of point value of one of the letters to another.
Consider the letter W, which has 23rd position in alphabet. Double consonants and double letters with vertical symmetry will work on W, but not triple vowels, triple letters with horizontal symmetry and quadruple letters with rotational symmetry. Does that mean scores of factorials of only even multiples of 23 can be made, but not scores of factorials of odd multiples of 23, like 69!?
Apparently not. By placing W on a position in alphabet tile, by making sure its point value is the highest in the word, by using ceiling tile to make point value of all letters in the word to be 23 points in the very 1st step of re-valuation of all of letters in the entire word and by using an another letter either with horizontal symmetry or which is a vowel on any of the factorial tiles, a score of approximately 69! with some of other of small additions can be achieved. Hoping that it will not be eclipsed by some of other of higher scoring letters in that of same of entire word.
WORK played on will score 23 + 69 + 23 + 69! = 1.711×10⁹⁸ points.
This is another of scoring example from one of the real time games that I had played in Anadrome website before itself:
JOSEPH played on will score 16 + 64⁶⁴ + 64 + 16 + 16 + 64 = 3.940×10¹¹⁵ points.
Please note that the maximum point value of all of the letters in entire word is 16, which is because of the position in alphabet of the letter P, which is in the position in alphabet tile. In the very 1st step, the letter S has not been re-valued to 19 points as it is not in the position in alphabet tile, but it has been re-valued to 9 points because it is in 9 tile, before the ultimate application of ceiling tile value of 16 points.
The letter P does not either have vertical symmetry or have horizontal symmetry or have rotational symmetry. But, its point value of 16, which is its position in alphabet, has been induced to the letters O, S and H, which will each take the value of 64 points, after quadruple letters with rotational symmetry have been applied to each of them.
What do you think about adding a lot of fun bonus tiles like these at least in latest version 4.0 of Scrabble3D to make it even more interesting and to make it even more special? By the way, the starting square, as it has been mentioned as in the below image, had not been a double word score square in the Anadrome website, as it would be used to be either in the conventional Scrabble games played or in the Super Scrabble games played and that it had only been equivalent to a regular tile with no special bonuses at all.

All of the below mentioned images of more of examples of how scoring actually worked out in Anadrome website are only actually in memory of the most funnily ever playable Scrabble variants website of the most interesting word game ever over the Internet.
But in case of Anadrome website, the creator Jon is more of a reserved type, he is not reachable through any of means. But, as a Scrabble3D creator, you are at least reachable by this forum. On the other hand, the Woogles creator César Del Solar is at least reachable through Discord channels.
Only the e-mail address of admin@anadro.me to contact the administrator of Anadrome website had been mentioned in the Anadrome website whenever that it had been functional. By the way, there had also been no reply from that e-mail address too whenever I had sent an e-mail to that e-mail address at the time whenever that the Anadrome website had been functional. It looks like the e-mail address of admin@anadro.me does not get through once that Anadrome website has been shut down completely.
But as an alternative to the e-mail address of admin@anadro.me, recently, to contact the creator Jon of the Anadrome website, it looks like I found out his alternate e-mail address: j@nvm.io. I have sent an e-mail to him, 5 days ago. Let me see. Google said that Mark Nelson at mjn@anadrome.org and at mnelson@american.edu is the creator of Anadrome website. Although, he is not the creator, it looks like he still has played a few of his games there a few years ago and he still has touch with the game and its creator. He gave me the website of its creator: https://nvm.io.
ZOO played on will score 32²⁰⁰ + 200 + 8 = 2¹⁰⁰⁰ + 208 = 1.072×10³⁰¹ points. ZOO played on will score 8³⁰⁰ + 300 + 6 = 2⁹⁰⁰ + 306 = 8.453×10²⁷⁰ points. HOT played on will score 16²⁰⁰ + 200 + 2 = 2⁸⁰⁰ + 202 = 6.668×10²⁴⁰ points. HOT played on will score 8²⁰⁰ + 200 + 4 = 2⁶⁰⁰ + 204 = 4.150×10¹⁸⁰ points.
Quadruple letters with rotational symmetry can be applied to the letters Z, O, N and S, but not E here.
ZONES played on will score 8² + 2² + 2¹ + 1¹ + 1⁸ = 72 points. ZONES played on will score 32 + 8⁸ + 8¹ + 1⁴ + 4³² = 18446744073726328873 points. ZONES played on will score 64 + 16 + 16¹ + 1⁸ + 8⁶⁴ = 6.277×10⁵⁷ points. ZONES played on will score 96 + 24 + 24 + 1¹² + 12⁹⁶ = 3.994×10¹⁰³ points. ZONES played on will score 128 + 32 + 32 + 1 + 16¹²⁸ = 1.341×10¹⁵⁴ points. ZONES played on will score 160 + 40 + 40 + 1 + 20 = 261 points.
For plus, times, power and mimic, these operations will be carried out on the current letter in the word (which will be placed on the top of any of either of these plus or times or power or mimic tiles) and the next letter in the word. However, next letter in the word will be the 1st letter in the word if the current letter in the word will be the last letter in the word.
Triple vowels will be applied to A and Y, but not B. Triple letters with horizontal symmetry will be applied to B, but not A or Y.
ABB played on will score 150 + 5 + 5¹⁵⁰ = 7.006×10¹⁰⁴ points. ABY played on will score 150 + 5 + 15¹⁵⁰ = 2.592×10¹⁷⁶ points. ABB played on will score 50 + 15 + 15⁵⁰ = 6.376×10⁵⁸ points. ABY played on will score 50 + 15 + 5⁵⁰ = 8.882×10³⁴ points.
What do you think about adding a lot of fun bonus tiles like these at least in latest version 4.0 of Scrabble3D to make it even more interesting and to make it even more special?
Here are 10 of my most favourite Anadrome pairs, those of which are available and those of which are valid in CSW2024 dictionary: 1. Desserts, Stressed. 2. Redrawer, Rewarder. 3. Gateman, Nametag. 4.

FLOW played on will score 100 + 2¹⁰⁰ + 100 + 7¹⁰⁰ in forward direction for FLOW and 7¹⁰⁰ + 100 + 2¹⁰⁰ + 100 in backward direction for WOLF for a total of 6.469×10⁸⁴ points.
OBEY played on will score 100 + 5¹⁰⁰ + 100 + 5¹⁰⁰ in forward direction for OBEY and 5¹⁰⁰ + 100 + 5¹⁰⁰ + 100 in backward direction for YEBO for a total of 3.155×10⁷⁰ points.
By the way, finally, I thought I would also explain to you about the reviver tile too.
For example, let us consider GALA already played on the 1st 4 tiles during any of the previous turns and you extend it to GALAXY during the current turn by adding XY in the last 2 tiles. Without any of the reviver tiles in the entire word, only the bonus tiles that are covered by XY will be considered and so the score will be: 4 × 1 × 2 × 1 × 9⁵ × 5 = 2361960 points. But, with at least 1 of reviver tiles in the entire word, all of bonus tiles that are covered by GALAXY will be considered and so the score will be: (9⁹ × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9⁹ × 9)² = 9.698×10⁴¹ points.
This is also by taking into account too the fact that because of the presence of at least 1 of ceiling tiles in the entire word, all of letters in the entire word have been re-valued to 9 points.
All of bonus tiles that are covered by the entire word will be considered either if the reviver tile will be covered by newer tiles in the current turn or if the reviver tile had already been covered by older tiles in any of the previous turns.
By the way, all of these of 40 fun bonus tiles are best to be played in computer either against human opponent players or against computer opponent players.
In all of real time physical games that are played, most of people would find out calculating scores with all of these of 40 fun bonus tiles to be too complicated and to be too confusing.
Although they are plenty of hours of fun, these word games will not become as popular as conventional Scrabble.
Most players will prefer simple games and not larger boards or scores with plenty of digits.
By the way, in addition to all of that, for all of those guys who would not be aware about scoring system in Anadrome at all, I must also add too that, re-valuation of letters took precedence before power (or any of other single-letter bonuses), while single-letter bonuses did not take precedence before power (or any of other single-letter bonuses).
For example,
BY played on scored 5⁵⁰ + 50 = 8.882×10³⁴ points. BY played on scored 5¹⁰⁰ + 100 = 7.889×10⁶⁹ points. BY played on scored 5²⁵ + 25 = 298023223876953150 points. BY played on scored 510 - 5 + (10 - 5) = 3130 points. BY played on did not score 55! + 5!, but instead scored 5⁵ + 5! = 3245 points. BY played on did not score 55² + 5², but instead scored 5⁵ + 5² = 3150 points. BY played on scored 5⁵ + 5 = 3130 points. BY played on scored 1¹ + 1 = 2 points.
