![]() ![]() Go to Mini Games menu and click on Professor Maven, and there it is. For example, "LIMITED (5E,20,O)." The characters in the parens stand for where the word started and which direction it went (5E: across), how many points were scored (20), and which letters were left in the rack after the play (an O).Īnother nice feature is that Maven gives you a National Association Scrabble rating for your play in the last ten games. ![]() Incidentally, when Maven gives a play in her analysis she gives a complete identity to the play. It would help if the program displayed these average values, but it doesn't. Thus playing "orang" is not as good as playing "along" as an opening word because, although they both score the same, if you play "along" you keep the "r" which is considered more valuable than the "l." This "value" is NOT how many points the letter is worth when played, but how valuable it is to have in your rack on an average basis. And then she gives an analysis of that play, your play, and other plays comparing the points scored and the value of the letters left in your rack. Thus 8H is the center square while 1A is the square in the upper left corner.) Plays that go across are identified as starting at the square beginning with the number, e.g., 8H while the beginning square of plays going down begin with the letter, e.g., H8.Īnyway, you can click on "Next" and Maven will reveal what is probably a better play. Well, I could find the better play now that you mention it, Maven, if the board displayed the coordinates! (Squares on the 15 x15 Scrabble board are identified by "A" through "O" across the top and 1 through 15 vertically. The four basic comments she makes are, "xxx is probably best," "xxxx is one of the best moves," "xxxx is a good move," and "xxxx was played." She follows the latter three comments with the question "Can you find a play at (e.g.) 8H"? or something similar. It automatically saves all your games and under the Mini Games menu allows you to retrieve each one and have Professor Maven critique your play (and her play as well, actually). Still it is a very good program and a lot of fun to play. Maven's annoying chortles after scoring are gone, so I suppose there is some improvement! But basically infogames or Hasbro or whoever is responsible for the software missed an opportunity to make this into an outstanding program. Also disappointing is the new music, which is as bad as the old music. ![]() They need to double-check.) There are no improvements, however, that I can see, and the claim on the package that it "Includes Merriam-Webster's Official SCRABBLE Player's Dictionary, 3rd Edition" is not quite correct since the program continues to disallow many words that are actually in that dictionary, including the frequently used "da." Use "da" in a play and Maven will dissolve it, spin your letters back into your rack, and take her turn!
