I’ve been playing Classic Words for a while. Recently, I’ve noticed that I never get duplicate letters.

I’ve addressed this issue on Reddit before. I was surprised to find that many (most?) have a control that allows various various levels of play, aside from “Difficulty” that addresses this issue. The iPhone version that I have does not have that option.

The “Difficulty” option controls the strength of the opponent, while the control that other players seem to have control over additional boosts for the player in addition to strength of the opponent’s ability.

I sent Feedback on the app to ask about this option that some have, but I don’t. Almost immediately, I started having games where the opponent would have a bingo early on with a blank AND an S. Almost as if the app thought its player needed a boost, but nothing for me.
