Play against Robot
... or as 2-4 people:
Robot Vocab. Size:
10,000 words
20,000 words
50,000 words
Entire lexicon
Adjust how many words the robot knows.
To make the vocab lists, the full lexicon was first ordered by usage frequency according to the Corpus of Contemporary American English. Thus the shorter lists will be mainly words you know.
All 2 and 3 letter words are included in each list, regardless of usage frequency. Challenges are adjudicated by the web server — using the full lexicon.
Robot Handicap:

Adjust how good the robot is at playing words on the board by handicapping xer. A handicap of 0 means xe will play at full strength. The larger the handicap number, the more likely a good play is overlooked.
Avg. Robot Score:
The average score is estimated by having the robot play against a clone of xerself many times, with the selected vocab size and handicap factor — YMMV.
