Thanks Jason. I now see that you computed values for each of the
word lists. I guess I should have looked around before I asked the
question! Does it take long to compute the values for a word list?
I've been waiting for a program like Quackle for a long time! (I
have the old version of Maven, but I don't know how to build a more
modern dictionary file for it.) I mainly play against the Pocket PC
version of Xwords, which always chooses the highest point value
regardless of rack leave. Still a lot of fun, though.
Keep up the good work!
