Lexulous

December 16th 2009 01:40

Lexulous (formerly Scrabulous), is an online word game based on the commercial board game Scrabble. It is run by an Indian company of the same name on the dedicated website at www.lexulous.com, and is also available within the social networking site Facebook.

The Scrabulous web site was launched in 2005, and the game was added to Facebook as an application in 2007, quickly becoming the most popular game on Facebook. In 2008 the game was removed from Facebook, first for North American users and later worldwide, because of copyright infringement lawsuits.

This is a result of the ruling by Delhi High Court that Calcutta-based Rajat Agarwalla, 27, and Jayant Agarwalla, 22, retained the right to post their word game online, but were not allowed to use Scrabulous, Scrabble or any other “similar sounding” name.

On September 27, 2008 a site was launched at www.lexulous.com, with access to the old database of scrabulous.com users. It has a Live version and Practice Mode, and an option for play by email.

On December 20, 2008 Hasbro withdrew their lawsuit against RJ Softwares. And on 1 January 2009, Lexulous was reactivated on Facebook starting with 0 monthly active users. As of March 23, the application has about 585,000 monthly active users. EA's version has about 586,000 while RealNetwork's version has 357,000 users.

Word Twist - Online Boggle

December 14th 2009 01:13

Wordtwist.org offers an online variant of the traditional game of Boggle.
All the key features of Boggle are retained, except for a few twists in scoring and letter distribution.

As explained on the website, the game is played like this:
The purpose of the game is to discover as many words as possible within a jumbled square of sixteen randomly selected letters. A valid word can only be formed if each letter is contiguous (i.e. side-by-side, above or below, or on the diagonal) with the next, and no letter position can be used more than once in any given word.

There are three criteria that determine the final score of any given word. The base score is determined by the word's length. Words that are 3 and 4 letters long have a base score of three. Five letter words are worth 4 points, Six letter words are 5 points, and onwards and upwards, one additional point for every additional letter. But we also factor in how common each word is in the English language and give bonuses for rare and unusual words. Finally, smaller bonuses are given for words which incorporate difficult letters such as Q, Z, X, J and K.

The game can be played on a 4X4 or 5X5 board. If you register your statistics will be recorded.
To find out more or get started, simply visit Word Twist here.

Codebreaker

November 30th 2009 20:42

A Codebreaker is a crossword puzzle with no clues! Instead, every letter of the alphabet has been replaced by a number, the same number representing the same letter throughout the puzzle.
All you have to do is decide which letter is represented by which number!
To start you off, we reveal the codes for two or three letters.
When these letters have been entered throughout the puzzle, you should have enough information to start guessing words and discovering other letters.
Entering Letters
To enter a word, simply click on the square in which you want to begin typing. The color of the selected square will appear in yellow.
Type the letter you believe is the correct letter represented by the number in that square. All other occurrences of that letter will be filled in automatically.

Use the save and restore buttons to return to your game at a later time.

If you get stuck, try the reveal letter or solution buttons to help you out.

If you prefer solving puzzles the old-fashioned way with pencil and paper, click on the Printer-Friendly Page link.

There is a new challenge each day, but if that's not enough you can always visit the codebreaker archive!

Time to Play: 1 hour
