Elizabeth Beer Does anybody know the keyboard shortcut for making a blank dec when you have already typed in words? Thanks

Matthew Tassier I don't think such a shortcut exists.
Once you get to the word selection screen I don't think you can make a blank dec.
Options in this tournament include adding a word that is out of alphabetical order that you can declare knowing it will be excluded. And also if you do have to declare something you didn't really want to then if you declare the same word again later then both occurrances will be excluded, potentially reversing some damage.

Elizabeth Beer Found something, and contrary to what I believed, this is not an option. But I think that it should br

Fiona T you can delete words after you've typed them, but not after time runs out

Matthew Tassier Definitely a hard round, and one where we were relying on a bit of good luck from the selections.

Tourney round: Alphabetical - Bot Challenge: Round B - Junior

<< Round A - Touchdown Junior | Round C - Goatdown Junior >>

Notes from the organizer: After a relatively helpful format in the first round, round B will probably be the lowest scoring round of the tournament, being played in Junior format. The decision of which rounds to go for some points in and which rounds to just blank might be tough. Also bear in mind that the massive 14 points available for a 7 letter word could make a big difference.

Alphabetical rules:
Your submitted words (WHETHER VALID OR NOT) must be in alphabetical order through each game. Any word submitted that is alphabetically before a word submitted in an earlier round of the game (whether valid or not) will be ignored. Also, any word submitted twice during a game, whether valid or not, will be ignored. This effectively gives an option to cancel out a word from a previous round that you realise shouldn't have been submitted. Any queries, please ask.

Scoring:
Standard scoring for all words that pass the alphabetical rules. Your total score for this round will be added to the other rounds to find our overall winner.
