There isn't a series of videos I click on faster than these.

I would absolutely love to watch commentary from Dweeb on other matches too 👍🏼

Such a shame at around 11:15 you didn’t have Tnetennba; so close!

Good heavens, really? Could you, er, use it in a sentence for us?

It'd be good if Woogles allowed users to move segments (chat, score, etc) to where they prefer.

[@dweebovision]

Agreed, I can do that in post production but it takes a lot of time and the cursor jumps around

[@MrBrain4]

This was the first video where I was noticing a high-pitched static that occurs whenever you talk. For interface, I strongly prefer the look you have now, so whatever you have to do to keep using this, I would recommend doing.

[@johabee]

Didn't notice the static at first, but when I turn up the volume I can confirm that it's there when you talk.

[@dweebovision]

@@johabee Thanks, I will make further changes

[@dweebovision]

Thanks Brian. I am making more changes this weekend so hopefully will be sorted soon

11:15 If you were to play NAB, why not on the right? 2 more points, only 1 point tiles can hit the double letter if he hooks it, and it takes the higher scoring double lane from your opponent.

[@dweebovision]

NABK is good

I think one L should be kept in your opening rack

[@ab12c3d4]

L does boost overall equity by a fair amt but throwing out the extra tile might go a _small_ way in catching S's & blanks 🤔

[@ohtani2024]

@@ab12c3d4 L gives you great value in this rack. Per quackle, AENR gives you 9.2 equity but 13.1 with an L. Not to mention the duplicate L would increase the equity a few (lowered the chance to draw another L). The main concern is, I said so many times, English Scrabble letter set is way too vowel heavy. In CSW the Vowel-Consonant ratio is 38:62, while the scrabble tile ratio is 42:56, which makes vowel much less valuable. Keeping a 2:2 rack rather than 2:3 or 2:4 is not a very great idea. Also the L is a decent bingo tile. AELNR is much balancer than AENR.

@@ohtani2024 fair pt ― duplicate L's dont feel great compared 2 a single L tho

[@ohtani2024]

@@ab12c3d4 i didn't say clear. I mean when you got 2 Ls in your rack, you have a lower chance to draw another, same applied to when you keep one L and trade another

ISC application is goated. Woogles interface is so dull. The web ISC is not smooth to use.
I really wish Wordbiz would be redeveloped
