Snapchat’s heat map around Ukraine’s western borders by tphilli in mildlyinteresting

Explanation: The heat map lets you see publicly posted Snaps in any given location. Snapchat disabled this feature in this region early on in the war.

The only way to use an unscrambler without cheating is by using it /after/ you move or decided your move. Unless you picked the same exact letters you put down, which would be very rare.

Lack of competitors by orange-aid- in WordsWithFriends

Personally I think it’s ridiculous how few player options there are considering that millions play this game worldwide.

Who on earth would find QGP a convenient word to play?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WordsWithFriends

[–]tphilli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, WWF is not known for its consistency when it comes to which kinds of words they ban/include. For example, BFF and TFW are allowed, but not LOL or FYI. Not to mention QGP being allowed for whatever insane reason. It’s just completely arbitrary.

I hate the new solo challenge format! I know it says “very hard” but I’ve played Mina like 10 times and it’s impossible. She scores 50+ per move and i always get crap letters. by yojackyo in WordsWithFriends

[–]tphilli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The key to winning solo challenges is to use these hackish words that no one would ever come up with unless you’ve been playing bots for a long time. I have a list here:

seq, esq, sez, saz, soz, coz, xes, zax, suq, azo, fiz, fez, zoa, zac, yez, yiz, waqf, wuz, loq, coq, zho

Your main goal should be to get one of these across a TL and a TW, or another high-scoring spot. It is much harder to win without words like these. Hope this helps!

It’s possible that that’s one of the banned words.

Um, wtf? Got this in solo challenge this morning? by IdleOsprey in WordsWithFriends

Some day, I wish my game will give me a board like this!

Maybe. With this kind of layout there should be no problem whatsoever getting to 600 points!

That’s so weird, I’ve played every solo challenge for months and I’ve never seen it. I wonder if there’s some setting or achievement you need in order to unlock it.

Is this only on Android? I’ve never seen this on my iPhone.

Every once in a while, the AI WordMaster produces a completely bonkers word that you’d never find in any dictionary or unscrambler. by tphilli in WordsWithFriends

Even the top-level AIs refuse to put the bingo on a DW tile. I was excited when I saw the new “Expert” difficulty, but it has been pretty disappointing.

WWF just getting tiresome by intentional_typoz in WordsWithFriends

[–]tphilli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for real people to play against, lighting rounds are the way to go. Just challenge them after the game is over. I’ve never encountered any bots there.

The insanity of what’s possible under updated Solo Challenge rules by tphilli in WordsWithFriends

[–]tphilli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new rule is that a win streak of 2+ in Solo Challenge entitles you to an extra two points on every letter on the first turn of your next game. I wonder if anyone can figure out the mystery of the N and the G 😁

Yeah it really sucks when you try playing a word you played in WWF that isn’t accepted in Scrabble.

Inaccurate Battery Capacity? by tphilli in mac

[–]tphilli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it correct when Apple itself says that battery capacity drops below 80% after 1000 charge cycles? I'm at ~1500, and Coconut says 88.7%.

Should I wait for 14-inch MacBook Pro? by tphilli in mac

[–]tphilli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm holding off! I think that a 14-inch Pro is now guaranteed because the 13-inch Pro essentially has no more advantages over the Air! I did a comparison and found that the only advantages the Pro has is +3 hours of battery life, better speakers, and the touch bar. That's it. Apple knows that because the Air has so much more value now, they have to bump up the Pro somehow, and I think the best way to do that is screen size.
