Thanks!

Hmm yes what do you think could be a better way? Just the number of points?




You could just drop the sentence since the top scoring words are shown below.

Other nits:

- Gray the submit button until the word is valid, otherwise it's unclear why clicking on the submit button doesn't do anything.

- If you are trying to find a word and switch tabs, things get reset when you come back.

- If you place tiles forming a word, a space, random tiles: you can submit the first set of letters. IMHO, it shouldn't let you submit if you have spaces between tiles.

- Display the best word I have found so far, but let me keep trying other tiles.


The usual thing in this case is to call it the 7th highest-scoring word (but call all of those above it the highest-scoring)


I much prefer how it is currently

The important thing is not that there are 6 better words, but there is 1 better score (i.e. you got the second best score possible)


"You found the Nth highest word score"
