Oh, I thought they could be in any order so long as I tapped them in the correct order. Okay, one more puzzle solved. I'm still unclear on when the game moves letters, though. For instance, I spelled "sheen" going all the way up the first column as my initial move in a game, and the app rearranged my tiles for some reason. By the time the AI went, I had no idea where it had moved my tiles because some had disappeared. On Jan 16, 2014, at 5:16 PM, Kwasi Mensah <kwasi.men...@gmail.com> wrote:
