I didn't get any resonse on the Quackle list.
I tried cgp and
Ross Brown did tell me that 
the "Generate Choices" are set when you
choose from the "New Game". (Speedy, preferable for me).
However  I was unable to change that choice in the
New Game menu.

Also a second question.  I suddenly lost
the sowpods tagging and can find no way
to regain this feature.

Any help with either of these two questions
would be appreciated.

Albert
ps  Most of my scrabble activity
is playing sowpods on Quackle.
That and Noggin on Facebook.
pps Thx, Ross, for the response on cgp.

The depth of search that a computer player does is decided at the beginning of 
the game in the New Game dialog - you choose the type of opponent from a list 
such as this:
- Championship Player
- Twenty Second Championship Player
- Five Minute Championship Player
- Speedy Player
Once this is chosen, you can't change the opponent's habit, except in versions 
where there is a "Finish Now" button (e.g., 0.96 for Mac OS) to let you express 
your impatience in real-time.

As for the "Ask Speedy Player for choices" menu item, you may be misreading its 
purpose; that's for helping *you* make choices, not a way of telling the 
opponent to hurry up.
