Change isn’t always good

Your new algorithm makes the game less fun and more frustrating. Too many all consonants. Less vowels.

Glitches

I'm 72 and a skilled Scrabble lifer. When I played a word that included a tile in a word already played, a message appeared saying "Connect with a tile on the board" and that's what I'm doing. After a few tries, I give up.
